As a sorcerer forced to hide his gifts, Merlin is more determined than ever to bring magic back to Camlot and finally give others like him a place in the world. Lines have been drawn, his side already chosen. But does he have what it takes to free himself and his people? Or will he fall prey to Arthur's charms and plots like others before him?

Credit for the amazing cover goes to EdamameBean on Wattpad! Merthur AU (Still set in the same time period) After the Great Purge, led by Uther Pendragon, magic has become outlawed in the Kingdom of Camelot. The kingdom thrives quietly for a few years, none disturbing the silence. Meanwhile, a betrayed Balinor is seen as a leader within the community of surviving sorcerers and their supporters. The sorcerers create a new home within the borders of Camelot by taking control of an old castle. With their new leader Balinor, the sorcerers are prepared to take down Uther Pendragon and return to their homes. Thus, The Resistance is born. The war between the two wages on for over a decade. Neither of the two powers willing to surrender. This is the time when our tale begins. The time of Merlin Ambrosius, son of Balinor, and Arthur Pendragon, son of Uther. What will happen when the two fall in love? Especially when neither realize they are in love with their greatest enemy. Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin.
