The Merlinian Legend Series

An epic fantasy saga spanning creation to apocalypse. From the fall of the magical world of Fayah to the end of all things, this series follows Merlin, his bloodline, and a forgotten Goddess through prophecy, memory, rebellion, and rebirth. It’s the story of how magic began — and how it ends.

The Books

The Wizard’s Bible

After the fall of the magical world Fayah, Merlin leads the last survivors across the stars and begins telling the true history of magic, from Lemuria to Camelot. This is the final gospel of the first and last wizard.

The Book of Ashni

Ilaina may be gone, but her mind lives on. Her secret AI awakens aboard a crystal ark filled with sleeping survivors, forcing her husband, her father, and a fallen angel to face the question: did Ilaina save them… or take control of humanity’s future?

Cover of The Book of Amandus

The Book of Amandus

Cast out of the hidden world and trapped in a mortal body, the fallen Goddess walks the earth as Amandus — a dangerous witch in a Church-ruled age. Her beauty is a weapon, her anger is divine, and her very existence could shatter religion.

Cover of The Book of Anael

The Book of Anael

Before Genesis, before Heaven had rules, there was Anael, the daughter of God. She reveals how creation actually began, and why the truth of the divine feminine was erased from history.

Cover of The Book of Abaddon

The Book of Abaddon

Ninety years after Fayah’s destruction, prophecy ignites. The reincarnated Merlinians must face the rise of the Anti-Christ and the return of the Fallen Goddess — now called Abaddon — who may end the world, or finally set it free.

Immersive Characters

Meet an immortal wizard carrying twelve thousand years of regret, a princess who becomes an AI to save humanity, a goddess erased from scripture, a banished witch who turns desire into power, and a fallen angel who holds a comet in her hands. Every figure here is layered, wounded, and dangerous, not just heroes or villains, but living forces shaped by love, faith, rage, and survival.

Legends & Mythology

The Merlinian Legend Series weaves together sacred myth, lost history, and forbidden scripture. It reimagines Merlin not just as Arthur’s wizard, but as a witness to the fall of ancient worlds, the rise of the Church, and the birth of prophecy. Angels, goddesses, and witches are treated like living forces of creation, and familiar myths like Excalibur, Revelation, and the Magi are revealed as fragments of a much older cosmic truth.

Grim-Dark, Beautiful, True

In this series, the world is brutal, sacred things are corruptible, and power, divine, magical, religious, is always dangerous. Heroes aren’t purely good. Gods aren’t purely holy. Yet amid the ruin there is awe: crystal starships carrying the last of a dead world, a goddess in exile, and an immortal father who still chooses hope.

About the Author

Amanda Van Lynn (born Amanda Lynn Partenheimer in Marion, Indiana) has been crafting stories since childhood. Her first tale, written at just nine years old, told of an evil twin kidnapping her cat — sparking a lifelong love of storytelling.

A year later, while LARPing with her sister Kim and a few friends, she created Ilaina, the daughter of Merlin — a character that would shape her creative universe for decades.

After years of creative silence and rediscovery, Amanda returned to writing with renewed purpose. In December 2025, within the quiet halls of the Nelson County Library in Bardstown, Kentucky, she began The Wizard’s Bible, the first entry in a mythic, dark fantasy saga exploring the fragile balance between light and shadow, power and corruption, grief and redemption.
