Summary
King Uther is dead. Long live the king.
When an old enemy crawls from the grave and cuts Uther down, an inexperienced and grieving Prince Arthur is forced to take the throne. As king, Arthur will be tested by regular magical attacks, his father's conservative council, and his own self-doubt. Yet he faces an even greater foe: Uther's shadow stretches long and dark across the land of Camelot, and if Arthur wants to forge a golden future for his people, he must first unravel the sins of the past.
Merlin is used to living in shadow, but serving the new king thrusts him out into the light. Torn between a need for secrecy and his budding friendship with Arthur, Merlin does his best to protect Camelot the only way he knows.
But no one can hide forever in a place they call home. Arthur lacks his father's zealotry, but he's no friend to magic either. Can Merlin hold on long enough to soften Arthur's heart? Or will he be forced to spend the rest of his life fleeing the way he fled Ealdor, too strange and wild to ever feel safe?
Or;
BBC Merlin if Kilgarrah never whispered destiny in Merlin's ear.

Summary
Ten years into Arthur's reign, magic is free and Camelot is at peace. However, some lords still remember the days of King Uther and are less than supportive of Arthur's reforms. When Merlin goes missing on a mission as envoy to one such lord, Arthur will stop at nothing to get him back.

Summary
A whistling wind raked through the trees, and Arthur ducked, hiding his face within his deep, crimson hood. He could only hope the physician might greet him with something hot to drink, for surely he must be there soon; it was hard to track the passing of the sun through such dense foliage, and the days were short this time of year, but Arthur had left Camelot in mid-morning, just late enough for the sun’s rays to crack the seal of frost upon the world.
Somewhere in the distance, a wolf howled. Or was it so far? Sound traveled as strangely as light in these woods.
The next step Arthur took, the next crunch of boot on snow, echoed strangely, doubled up.
“You know you’re going the wrong way, don’t you, friend?”
Prince Arthur walks into the woods on a snowy morning with a basket of herbs for Gaius, the physician who lives deep within and is said to create remedies for any illness. On the path, he meets a strange young man who claims to be Gaius's nephew and offers to show Arthur the way.

Summary
Camelot has been without a Court Sorcerer throughout all the long years since Merlin, known to some as Emrys, known to all as Prince Consort, went missing on what should have been a routine pilgrimage to the Crystal Caves. Since that day, sorcerers throughout the land have poured into Camelot seeking his place at King Arthur's side, only to be turned away--until today.
If they can pass a test to prove themselves as worthy as the greatest sorcerer ever to live.

Summary
The wind changed.
There was something unright about the black wolf. Golden-eyed, whip-thin. Too long of snout and limb. Among the trees, he might have been a shadow thrown by a wholly different creature–or, from the angle of the light, by Arthur himself.
Arthur had never seen him; Arthur knew him. It couldn't be, and wouldn't be beneath the sun. But it was Wolf Moon now, and Arthur's pack was somewhere in the woods, going on without him, while Arthur stood frozen as a deer, naked paws on the leaf litter, naked fur beneath the white moon, too exposed away from the safety of the brush–because he was a fool who charged in, because he was the apex predator in these woods, until he wasn't.
As prince of the Camelot wolf pack, Arthur has fought his entire life to be worthy of his title and his father's pride. When he meets a strange wolf with a too-familiar scent on the first full moon of the new year, he must decide what's really worth fighting for.

Summary
Azure Siegfried was a tool, defined by whatever mission the Black Workshop gave him. By now, he'd learned arguing with flawed instructions was more trouble than it was worth.
But, lying on his stomach on a rooftop in Crossbell’s Entertainment District, Siegfried held the private thought that he had correctly assessed the situation: the Ashen Chevalier should be locked up for his own good.
