Five Skeins

What is real, and what is words? 

Here's what I have so far, mild spoilers:

/4/ Erebus and Luna held by Hausos leave the Eclipse on high, Merlin navigating the panicked people discovers conflict over crops in low light and armies battle when it rains in the endless dusk. A society of curious occultists attempt to use magic to end sorcery, their faith and loyalty is put to the test among the rise of the pagan gods. 

/5/ Oneiros tricks Merlin helped by Brigid into fighting the wrong villains of the story, in combat trials they discover the secret of infiltration, but while the pagans ignore one problem to solve another it occupies him now to find the villain, the summoners/sorcerers are falling faster than the pagans can explain, and their power given to the mastermind Oneiros, powerless conflicts cause the druids to do the right wrong thing, and Merlin is forced to do the wrong right thing, facing the powers collected. 

/6/ When the cult of Kairos loses a Chimera they summon Sino with amnesia, his choices going against plans when he meets Merlin, who remembers him, in a new age discovering power Merlin had kept in the past, ambitions paused by common enemies even heroes are following clues deep into Drow lands, where there are no maps to tell the truth. 

>Epona, maybe Cernunnos in this one. 

New trilogy.

/7/ Primordial. When Valhalla is destroyed, and the gates of Niflheim are opened, Merlin will have to find, truce, and fight with Hel to chase secrets, challenging the new overlords, manipulating the enochian laws, using solomonic weapons to survive. 

/8/ Ethereal... the runes begin falling drawn to ancient lay lines drawing power from the planets in harmony sequence notes... the opening ether brings a new alchemy magic...  desires assumed as hungers lie, then Merlin's first enemy enters the chat. Saved it. 

IDK what to do with 8. I've to refill my brain with some books not quotes. Review megapost June 1st.
