This episode is our 2025 Holiday gift to you.

A story long kept in Hank M. Greene’s private notes — now shared for the first time.

What if the legend of Merlin didn’t begin with magic… but with memory?

In this special holiday release of the Hank M. Greene Chronicles, Mandrake and Julian unveil a forgotten chapter from Maya’s ancient journey: her quiet alliance with a Roman boy named Maximus — the one history would come to call Merlin.

Here, myth and history converge.

You’ll witness Maya guiding Merlin through the shadows, the shaping of young Arthur, the education of a king, and the unraveling of the mentor who changed her forever.

This is not the Merlin of storybooks.

This is the Merlin Maya lived beside — and the one she carried with her through centuries.

Crafted with care as a season-end offering, this episode stands as a preview of the forthcoming novel Maya, and a thank-you to every listener who has grown with us this year.

If you’re new to the Chronicles, welcome.

Core. Maya. Hank.

Their story always begins with you.
