Summary
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

Summary
Merlin has never learnt to control his magic. It is completely guided by his emotions and that usually doesn't turn out well.
Arthur was chased out of Camelot as a young prince. His own sister killed their father and now he is just waiting for the right moment to reclaim his kingdom.
When Merlin and Arthur meet, a hope seems to take root in the world that all will be well.
Magical figures, dark magic, lies and betrayal make their experiences together anything but easy. But deep friendships, trust, loyalty and love bring them ever closer to their goal.
Will Merlin find the control he needs and can Arthur forget his past to open his heart?Bookmarked by Debuskm1

Summary
When a sparring accident nearly kills Arthur, Merlin reacts without thinking - and exposes his magic before the entire training yard. But the fallout is interrupted by a sorcerer’s attack that rips Merlin’s soul from his body, leaving behind only Emrys: magic incarnate, stripped of warmth and memory. As Camelot reels, Arthur must face not just the politics of magic and the prophecy surrounding him, but his own feelings for the servant who has always stood by his side. Magic has always come at a cost - but Arthur never imagined the price would be Merlin himself.
