The Druid And The Prince - A Female Merlin Retelling

A druid with uncontrollable magic in a world where having magic is forbidden.

Merlyn has been an outsider her entire life. Born in a small village but raised by druids in a secluded forest, she's a witch who can't control her magic. It doesn't help that she also refuses to even try to use it, making her not just useless but dangerous.

The druids have tried to help her, but her refusal to cooperate leaves them with little choice but to send her away to Camelot where they hope forcing her into her destiny will help her heal her heart and let go of the past. Because only then will Merlyn be able to use her incredible magic with any semblance of control.

There are only a couple of problems. Camelot is at the heart of a kingdom where magic is punishable by death, she will be staying at the palace, right under the king's nose, and there is a prince who is doing everything in his power to make her life a living hell that she supposedly needs to protect.

The last thing Merlyn wants to do is be anywhere near Camelot and its magic-hating inhabitants, but when she starts catching feelings for the prince and his kingdom, she knows she is doomed. Because magic in Camelot can only lead to one thing. Death.

Will Prince Arthur ever learn that having magic doesn't make someone evil? But she knows deep down that even if he never did, she would give her life for his.

This book is based on Arthurian legend. It is very much inspired by the show Merlin by BBC. It does not follow this show and it doesn't matter if you have or have not seen it. Merlin is obviously a girl in this retelling and if that bothers you, then consider this you're official warning.

Hope you enjoy.
