    Summary

    After the encounter with the Disir, Merlin finds himself forced to take destiny into his own hands to prevent Arthur's fate and must come to accept his role as Emrys.

    Arthur, too, is afraid he has sealed the fate of Camelot in refusing to allow magic to return to the land. When he hears tell of the fated Emrys, a God who is meant to help him usher in a golden age of peace, he cannot imagine turning down his kingdom's last chance at salvation.

    Summary

    Camlann is over, but the cost of survival is only beginning to surface.

    In the uneasy calm after the war, Arthur tries to rebuild a kingdom while Merlin carries the weight of what it took to keep him alive. Magic is no longer a secret, peace is fragile, and something between Arthur and Merlin has shifted. Glances linger, touches feel too charged, and old boundaries no longer hold.

    This is a story about aftermath and wanting, about love that blooms in the ruins, and about the quiet, terrible truth that sometimes you would give anything for the one you love—only to discover that some prices ask for everything in return.
