In a land where ancient bloodlines hold both immense power and devastating consequence, Merlin is a force unto himself. He is the formidable Heir of the Coven, the powerful mage who has spent his life defending the North against the brutal Iron Lords. His magic is the shield of his people, but to the wary South, it is a symbol of dangerous influence.
He entered the life of Arthur, the spare Prince, not as a secret, but as a challenge.
They were meant to be allies in war, yet they became something more: two halves of a fractured crown. Years were marked by shared summers and unspoken longing, forging a bond so deep it felt like destiny. But as men, their proximity became a magnetic pull-a slow, agonizing burn that promised fire and ruin in equal measure.
Now, their sanctuary is shattering. The venom of betrayal is seeping into Camelot's halls, and the Iron Lords are closing in. To survive, Merlin must unleash the very power the court despises, while Arthur must navigate a political storm engineered to sever their ties.
They were told their duties came first. They were told a prince could not love a sorcerer. But in a war that threatens to consume the world, they will discover that the greatest magic is the one they hold for each other.
"I prefer you with me. On Camelot."
"Do not be unfair."
"I know. And I'm sorry. But my court wants me dead and I have no one else to trust. I need you."
