ABOUT

The Royal Library of Camelot is a fan-created resource for BBC Merlin!When we started this project, the plan was to scan and share the official novelized versions of the Merlin episodes.
The books have been out of print for a decade, and it's difficult to find physical copies.
We thought it would be valuable to create a project dedicated to digitalizing the books into an easy-to-access archive to prevent them from becoming lost media.
Soon, we expanded this goal to encompass not only the official Merlin books, but all print media.
Then we lost Merlin's Keep.
As an already established archive, we decided to expand the Library again and include archival backups of images across the fandom:
promotional photos, events, and even cast galleries.
We encourage you to download whatever you want.
We hope you find value in this project!
For the love of Camelot!

What i paid for my copies

If you're wondering about price points, here is what I paid for my copies! I always buy the ones labeled as "very good" condition. Some of the books out there are way overpriced, so I'll usually wait a while for a good deal to come along.Merlin: The Dragon's Call - $14 USD
Merlin: Valiant - $12 USD
Merlin: The Mark of Nimueh - $19 USD
Merlin: The Last Dragonlord - $14 USD
Merlin: The Traitor Within - $12 USD

where i buy my copies

I buy my copies on Ebay, AbeBooks, Amazon, World of Books, and thriftbooks

Merlin: A Servant of Two Masters (Nintendo DS)

The Nintendo DS game, Merlin: A Servant of Two Masters, is a hidden picture style puzzle game with intermittent mini games which focuses on the events of the episode by the same name. The game is available to play online or download here. In order for it to operate locally, you must download the ROM from the link above AND install an NDS emulator on your device. A copy of the instructional booklet can be found here. You can watch the official trailer here.


Merlin: The Game (Facebook)

The official launch of Merlin: The Game coincided with the premiere of season five of Merlin on BBC One in Autumn 2012. Unfortunately, there is currently no known way to play the game. There was quite a bit of community involvement at one time, however, even to the point of merchandise being created specifically for the game, not just the show. Behind the Scenes and Gameplay videos can be seen below:

Merlin: The Black Knight’s Quest

A classical turn-based RPG-style game developed by Intenium, released Jun 15, 2011. It was available on the iPhone App Store for $4.99 and compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad (required iOS 3.1.2 or later). Synopsis claimed players would be "fighting evil villains, solving deep riddles and confronting the Black Knight" and could play both Arthur and Merlin. Featured more than 30 quests and 5 behind the scenes videos.


Merlin: Camelot Defence (BBC Website)

One of two Flash games that were available on the BBC's website, Merlin: Camelot Defence is a basic castle defence style game. You can still access and play both games using BlueMaxima's Flashpoint, a community-run archive and software package which aims to preserve games and animations from the web (for Mac support, visit this page). You can also watch a playthrough here.


Merlin: Quest for the Mortaeus (BBC Website)

One of two Flash games that were available on the BBC's website, Merlin: Quest for the Mortaeus draws from the episode The Poisoned Chalice. The player swaps back and forth between Arthur climbing the cave walls and fighting off spiders to get to the Mortaeus flower and Gaius treating Merlin in his sick bed. When Arthur reaches the top of the wall, he encounters Nimueh, who hurls magic and giant spiders at him until he defeats her and wins the game.You can still access and play both games using BlueMaxima's Flashpoint, a community-run archive and software package which aims to preserve games and animations from the web (for Mac support, visit this page). You can also play this game in your browser here.
