But just like that - it's over and gone, with only the memories of the fiery elven princess Elia lingering in Merlin's mind. Years later, that past comes back in yet another chance meeting in the woods. This time, both Arthur and Elia take a step of faith, hoping an alliance could bring peace between their worlds. The elves could open up trading opportunities and be a much-needed ally in a time of strife in Albion. Elia sees the alliance - and Merlin's great destiny - as a chance to save her kind in a world that is quickly losing magic. What no one expected was for something more to grow between the now elven queen and the hapless servant, who is in fact a great sorcerer in hiding. But how can they possibly make such a union work with duty and destiny standing in their way? This is the first in a two-part series.Complete
