It is said that only he who is the rightful King of the Solar Court and High Lord of all Fae kind can pull the sword from the stone. But what if the Fae who pulls the sword from the stone is a she?
When a lark bearing strange gifts first showed up at her window, Rora was merely annoyed. Little would she expect to find herself forced into a bargain with a Fae five years later, and crowned King another two years after. But the Fae who calls himself Merlin seems to be hiding another agenda...
The Faerie Blade is a retelling of the famous Arthurian legend, following the part Fae named Rora Arthian. How will the fate of the Fae inhabited Avalon fare in her hands?
Long live the Queen.

But if Emrys guides Arthur to his destiny, she leads herself to her own doom. Emrys hopes to be able to change her fate, but it's hard to focus on that when she's busy trying to keep the prat of a prince from being killed by everything else. ***This is a fanfiction based on the BBC show Merlin and features MAJOR canon divergent. There are original characters in this, some taking place of canon characters and others added in as side characters. Many of our favorite characters will both look and act a little differently, as such, but this is just to help them all fit better together. This story contains a lot of original plot points, with a sprinkling of beats from some favorite episodes, but I hope you'll give it a chance and still enjoy it!***Complete
