In The Heart Of Fesia

Merlin is the most powerful wizard in his family in the last twenty-two centuries. Born with the ability to conjure without saying a single word and with the elements at his fingertips.

"He's a prodigy," his teachers would say.

One day before the October rite, he is given the responsibility of casting away the year's negative energies into the sacred fire at the start of the annual festival, when we release the lingering energies from our bodies and offer them to the sacred fire as a sign that we accept change and welcome what is new into our lives in this upcoming end of the year. This is followed by a series of dances and appetizers around the bonfire, accompanied by the community orchestra.

But, to his misfortune, something goes wrong.

A misspoken spell, a powerful sorcerer, and too much free energy can be the equation for disaster.

...

Merlin ends up being transported to the early days of his family tree, right into the body of his ancestor, the strongest wizard who ever walked the earth.

Forced to live in Fesia, where anyone with a trace or suspicion of magic is cold-bloodedly killed. A time of grotesque laws, with tyrant kings and hollow heirs, as cruel as their parents.

What a sense of humor destiny has.

Merlin finds out that his ancestor was the servant of Prince Arthur of Fesia, who, much to his discomfort, looks exactly like the fool Kingston from his own timeline and seems to be just as stupid and hollow as his version.

With the mission of keeping this timeline safe until he figures out how to return to his original one, he must endure scorn, humiliation, unanswered mysteries, and assassins eager to cut off the prince's head with their own hands.

Merlin has a lot of work ahead of him.

And his highness is not much help, to say the least.
