Merlin has spent six years as King Uther's weapon. An assassin, a sorceress, a girl with fire in her veins and blood on her hands, bound by duty to protect the heir of Camelot…even if that heir is the cruel prince she despises.

Then Uther gives her a new target.

Arthur.

Silver-haired, infuriatingly charming, and far too difficult to kill, Arthur should have been another name crossed from Merlin's list. Instead, he survives her poison, binds her magic to him, and drags her into a world of secrets, prophecy, betrayal, and a throne soaked in blood.

But Arthur is not who Merlin thought he was.

He is Arthur Pendragon. The true heir of Camelot.

Now the woman sent to kill him may be the only one who can keep him alive. Because the prophecy is awakening, old enemies are rising, and Merlin's fire may be the only thing standing between Camelot and ruin.

But protecting Arthur means risking the one thing Merlin swore she no longer had.
