Camelot stands on the edge of collapse. As dark sorceress Morgana forges an alliance with the Shadowborn warlord Xarath, ancient forces stir beneath Avalon - forces capable of unraveling magic itself. If the Starheart Crystal falls into the wrong hands, the balance that has protected the world for centuries will not merely break. It will fade. Merlin, Guinevere, and Lancelot are drawn into a journey that will test more than their strength. Each must confront the cost of power, the weight of loyalty, and the truths they've long avoided - about themselves and each other. Their only hope arrives from beyond the stars. Arkeia, a princess from the dying world of Xeridina, brings knowledge of relics long thought myth - and a presence that alters the course of the quest in ways none of them anticipate. As alliances form and fractures deepen, the line between salvation and sacrifice blurs. Magic will be restrained. Trust will be tested. And not every victory will feel like one. In a world where destiny listens - and remembers - four unlikely guardians must decide what balance truly means. Welcome to The Guardians of Avalon.
