The Merlin Conspiracy is a fantasy novel by Diana Wynne Jones.The multiverse itself is shaped as an infinity sign, with two conjoined loops. One loop is "Ayewards", in which magic is common practice and easy to do, while the other is "Naywards", the worlds in which magic is nothing more than superstition, if not completely unknown. Our Earth is currently on the Naywards side, and seems to have been sliding back for a while. Keeping watch over the balance of magic, a group of persons of great power called the Magids have a great number of agents on each one of the worlds, Ayewards and Naywards alike.Roddy lives on an Ayewards world in which the King of England and his court are the keepers of magic. Traveling with an appointed magician, called the Merlin, he strives to keep magic under check. However, during an important political meeting the current Merlin suddenly dies and things get complicated. Roddy, one of the kids travelling with the court, gets stranded and ends up uncovering untold magical power and a conspiracy that plans on taking over all magic. But who will believe her?On Earth, Nick Mallory is searching for a way to travel across different worlds and unexpectedly finds one. It's not easy for him, however, as at first he thinks it is all a dream and his lack of regional customs puts him into deep trouble. While travelling he ends up making many enemies, and wandering around the worlds he ends up meeting with Roddy's uncle, a Magid, and figures that Roddy's world is in trouble. Now he has to help Roddy save her world while dealing with all the problems he seemed to collect on other worlds.The Merlin Conspiracy shares a setting with Deep Secret, one of Diana Wynne Jones's novels for older readers. The second book is somewhat tamer than the first and can be enjoyed without having read the first, but some backstory may be missed (Deep Secret is, among other things, the story of how Nick Mallory learned of the Magids). It is also less definitely aimed at young adults; this is part of the reason it was not advertised as a sequel.Tropes appearing in The Merlin Conspiracy include: | |
