All it took was one trip to Camelot to change destiny forever.
When Merlin and his younger sister, Vivian, are sent to live with Gaius in Camelot, they expect a fresh start. What they don't expect is to be thrown into a kingdom where magic is outlawed, secrets can get you killed, and the royal family is far more complicated than they first appear. After Merlin accidentally uses magic to save Gaius from falling to his death, the old physician quickly realizes both siblings share the same dangerous gift. Promising to keep their secret safe, Gaius welcomes them into Camelot, though he warns them to be careful. In a kingdom ruled by fear, magic is not something people survive.
The next day, while Merlin goes off to explore the city, Vivian wanders elsewhere, fascinated by the castle she'd heard stories about her entire life. But one careless turn sends her crashing straight into someone she doesn't recognize.
Alaric Pendragon.
The younger twin brother of Prince Arthur.
With soft golden hair, sharp blue eyes, and a kindness Arthur seems to lack entirely, Alaric is nothing like the arrogant prince Vivian expected. Their connection is immediate, effortless, and impossible to ignore.
Unfortunately for them, peace never lasts long.
Moments later, shouting echoes as Merlin and Arthur immediately begin arguing after Merlin calls the prince an ass within minutes of meeting him. Rushing toward the commotion, both Vivian and Alaric can only stare in annoyance at the disaster unfolding before them.
And somehow, that single moment changes everything.
As Merlin and Arthur slowly shift from enemies, to reluctant friends, to something far deeper, Vivian and Alaric find themselves tangled in a romance they desperately try to hide. But secrets never stay hidden long in Camelot, especially when magic, destiny, and love are involved.
This story follows four lives forever intertwined by fate. Two servants. Two princes. One kingdom destined to change.
