Zebulon Finnegan is Merlin’s Grandson…
He just doesn’t know it yet!

The Zebulon Quest books, part of the Artifacts of Merlin Saga by Tim Northburg, weave together a thrilling space odyssey that blends elements of classic adventure, mythology, and science fiction. Inspired by his favorite stories—Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit, Indiana Jones, and Harry Potter—Northburg has crafted a universe where magic and technology intertwine, set against the backdrop of an intergalactic quest. At the heart of the saga is Zebulon, a young hero thrust into a cosmic struggle when he discovers he is the key to an ancient prophecy tied to Merlin, the legendary sorcerer whose mystical artifacts hold the balance of power in the galaxy.

Each book in the series takes readers to a new and vibrant world, with planets that mirror the diverse landscapes, cultures, and myths of Earth. Whether it’s a desert world reminiscent of ancient Egypt, a watery realm echoing the legends of the Norse, or a jungle planet teeming with Mayan-inspired ruins, every setting immerses readers in a rich tapestry of adventure and intrigue. Like Indiana Jones, Zebulon must navigate perilous traps and uncover hidden relics; like Harry Potter, he wrestles with destiny and the forces of dark magic; like Star Wars, he embarks on a hero’s journey across the stars, encountering allies and enemies who shape his fate.

At its core, Zebulon Quest is an epic blend of myth, adventure, fantasy, and sci-fi, where the magic of Merlin is not bound to Earth but extends into the cosmos. By fusing Arthurian legend with space-faring adventure, Northburg delivers a saga that captures the wonder of The Hobbit, the grandeur of Star Wars, and the timeless mystery of The Chronicles of Narnia, all while forging a new legend of his own. With each installment unfolding on a new world, the series promises an ever-expanding journey filled with discovery, danger, and the enduring battle between light and darkness.
