(Inspired by the hit BBC show Merlin)

One thousand years have passed since humanity fell. From its ashes, the Faultless Kingdom rose. For many centuries, it was prosperous. Then the king enacted a new law: inkblood is a crime punishable by death.

Roche seeks refuge in the capital to hide the inkblood runs through her veins. Her one problem? She gets into a fight with the princess and heir to the throne on her very first day. What will she do when she learns of a plot that threatens to destroy the royal family? And can she hide her inkblood from the princess long enough to learn her destiny?

SCALES OF CAMELOT: A DRAGONFIRE SAGA 🐲🏰 by MrLouverture

"When fire was quenched and winter reigned, Two dragons bound in sea and blood shall rise, To stir the ember and crown the Dragon King." For centuries, Camelot has been frozen under Merlin's curse. Dragonfire - once the warmth of hearths and fields - is gone, leaving only endless winter. Arthur Pendragon, thirty-two and seven years a reluctant king, rules a starving people. He carries no dragon, no flame, only the heavy mantle of a crown. But when a prophecy awakens in the King Arthur Bible, Arthur's fate collides with that of two twins: Rhydian, a serf girl whose compassion ignites the last ember of fire, and Rhan, her bitter brother, captured and twisted into the ocean-blue dragon Excalibur, under Merlin's control. Bound to serve, the Blood Red Dragon Caliburn (Rhydian in dragon form), bonds with Arthur, who discovers a fire unlike any seen in Camelot's history - one of trust, not mastery. Yet Morgan le Fay sharpens her weapons in secret, Cerdic hunts dragon eggs with ruthless cruelty, and Merlin weaves a greater darkness within the Black Spire. Five tales unfold: 🔥 The Last Ember - Awakening fire in a kingdom of frost. 🌊 Drakkon Riders - Knights of the Round Table reign in air and sea. ⚔️ Excalibur's Wing - Battle for the heart of a water dragon. 🌑 Shadowmere and the Green Knight - When the shadow dragon rises. 🌟 Simmerax and the Sorcerer - Arthur's final choice: warmth or ruin. In a world where dragons are chained by curses and men live in endless winter, the question burns: will fire return to heal Camelot... or consume it forever?

Disaster Ever After [COMPLETED] by Fan_girl_07

As the crown princess, Gabrielle's life was never meant to be easy, yet the death of her father and an assassination attempt were far from what she expected. Now, forced to leave the only life she had ever know, she runs away with the help of Cedric, her closest friend and a dragon. However, her journey has just begun and there is much more blood and tears to be spilled. ~A NOT SO HAPPY EVER AFTER~ "And they lived happily ever after..." Gabrielle finished with a smile and set the book down. She loved happy endings, it made her feel so hopeful of her own life and how it would turn for the better. Her friend, on the other hand, didn't seem to share her opinions. "Do all these books have to finish the same way?" Cedric complained, leaning his head on the backrest of his armchair in exasperation. "It's starting to get old." "Well, what would you like? The princess to remain asleep? The beast to kill the old man? The thieves to escape?" she asked him curiously. She had never found happy endings to be boring, only, well... happy. "I mean, it would be nice for the dragon to win for once," he smirked mischievously, revealing one of his elongated fangs. His golden eyes flashed with magic for a second and a tiny tendril of smoke made its way from between his lips.

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

We'll Always Be The Last To Fall by cassan_riviera

He does not remember the feeling of panic rising in his throat at the thought that he would not be discovered before he became nothing more than a dead corpse in a dead Queen's garden, an errant child out of bed after hours.' **** After a lifetime of living on the knife-edge of death, when a seventeen year old Arthur is nearly killed by a traitor to in the very heart of Camelot, all he gets is a second glance and an imperious command from his father that Arthur is to get a new manservant. What's worse is that all his protests seem to fall on deaf ears. Arthur doesn't exactly have the best history with manservants. And it seems like this one with Merlin is going to be shorter and worse than most. It is not just that he is forgetful, or disappears for days on end, but it seems like he had no grasp of common human behaviour. But despite everything, they manage to forge a friendship, and one night, long-kept secrets are revealed, pledges and sacrifices made, and a new era birthed.

Ariella and her brother Eric are sent to Camelot once again. There, Ariella meets Arthur's new man servant for the first time, and they immediately form a bond-a bond that which cannot be broken. The Great Dragon knows that Ariella is to help Merlin protect Arthur and to unite the land of Albion-but what he failed to mention, was the very important fact that she and Merlin are meant to be together, despite Ariella being a princess, and Merlin, a servant. Merlin possesses a dangerous secret, one that would possible get him killed-and does Ariella. Only her brother, Eric, knows, because Ariella trusts him with her life, and he would do anything to protect his sister, no matter the cost. Follow Ariella on her adventure of magic, love and loss, and watch as each of her secrets are revealed. Can the love of a warlock heal the pain in Ariella's heart? Will Merlin and Ariella get their happily ever after, despite seemingly being from two different worlds apart, or will their enemies keep them apart?
