Waif and See (Merlin's Waif Book 9)

Some grudges transcend death. Merritt Vale thought dragons and dark mages were her greatest challenge. She was wrong. Watching her children discover that even Little Avalon cannot protect them from every danger cuts deeper than any blade. While dark magic spikes toward war levels in France, a different evil stirs closer to home. Someone believed long defeated has returned with patience, power, and a personal grudge. Dreams become battlegrounds. Sleep offers no sanctuary. The weapon to stop the coming war lies at the bottom of an enchanted pool in a dimension lost for ten thousand years. To save everyone she loves, Merritt must risk everything in a quest that will test her courage as both warrior and mother. Something watches from the shadows of memory.

Will a mother's greatest enemy be her own need to keep those she loves safe? You've followed Merritt from lost waif to legendary Guardian. Now witness her ultimate test in the series finale that will determine the fate of everyone she's fought to protect.
