Arthur Pendragon had hoped to receive his Hogwarts letter after his sister, Morgana, had gotten hers at eleven, so when Arthur's birthday came and went and nothing arrived, he couldn't help but be disappointed in knowing that the closest he would get to magic was reading some of his sister's books she received from school.
Until Merlin came crashing into his life, and he found a new friend with magic. Except, this magic wasn't the same as his sisters'. Merlin's eyes turned gold, and he needed no wand; not to mention the magic seemed to have connected itself to Arthur for some reason. Merlin never got his letter either, so clearly something wasn't right.
As Merlin tries to learn magic on his own, the two of them find out that there are people in the world who would like nothing more than to harness Merlin's strange magic for themselves.
