    Summary

    Twenty-one years of war between King Uther and the dragonlord Balinor have brought nothing but bloodshed to Camelot. But there is hope: A prophecy speaks of The Great Dragon, a mighty warrior destined to bring peace to the lands.

    Merlin isn’t so sure he is up to fulfilling such a great destiny, though he wants nothing more than to see this conflict end. When Merlin manages to capture Arthur Pendragon, heir of the enemy, he sees a chance to seek reconciliation between the two sides. But between protecting a prejudiced Arthur, standing up to Balinor and struggling with his own identity as prophesied saviour, Merlin soon fears he might have taken on an insurmountable task. Meanwhile, prisoner of war Arthur simply can’t seem to fathom the young dragonlord out and remains skeptical about his good intentions.

    The divide between the two sides runs deep, but destiny might yet find a way to make friends out of enemies…

    Summary

    In a world where Uther went mad right after Ygraine's death, Lord Chancellor Agravaine has been reigning Camelot from the shadows for nearly two decades. Arthur, who has little influence at court, is tired of being watched, controlled and manipulated by his uncle. Quick to anger and weighed down by a feeling of profound powerlessness, he shirks his princely duties, torments his servants and acts like a prat. That is, until the arrival of an insolent country boy sets into motion a series of events that might very well turn out to be the key to freeing Camelot from Agravaine's control...

    Summary

    After a plague ravages Albion, an orphaned Merlin arrives in Camelot, where he falls in the hands of the criminal Kanen. Too afraid to use his magic, Merlin has no other choice but to join Kanen’s gang of child thieves and steal to survive. Ten months later, Prince Arthur returns from a mission to a crime-infested city and disarrayed court, with King Uther paralysed by grief over Morgana’s death. Determined to restore order, Arthur tackles the task of cleaning up the Lower Town, where he meets Merlin—only to learn that the problems in Camelot run far deeper than he had first thought…
