I was never supposed to be the one. Just an orphan with no memories of my parents, a heart full of secrets, and a life spent as a thief just to survive. I thought I had it all figured out—until I accidentally yanked Excalibur from the stone. Suddenly, I was bound to a destiny that could shatter my world into pieces I never wanted to uncover.

With Excalibur in hand and the weight of a kingdom pressing down on me, I was thrust into a quest for the Holy Grail—a relic rumored to hold the power to save us all or doom us to darkness. And let’s not forget the whispers about my lineage: half-fae, a child of ancient magic. That kind of power could either be my greatest blessing or my ultimate curse.

Then there were the knights—oh, the knights. Each one more dangerous and alluring than the last. Lancelot, the brooding protector with a heart he kept locked away; Gawain, haunted by a past that loomed like a shadow; Percival, sweet yet wrapped in complexities that drive me insane; and Tristan, the charming rogue whose smile could melt even the iciest heart. And of course, there was Merlin, impossibly handsome and maddeningly secretive, who seemed to know more about my fate than he was letting on.

But as my quest spiraled deeper into darkness, I realized not all knights could be trusted. Mordred, the treacherous and illegitimate daughter of Uther Pendragon, was stalking us, determined to claim the Grail for herself. With every step closer, the lines between loyalty, love, and betrayal blurred, and I found myself questioning everything. Who could I trust when the shadows of my past threatened to swallow me whole?

A sword forged in legend. Five knights entwined by fate. A fae-born orphan with a kingdom to save—or destroy. And an ancient evil that would do anything to tear us apart.

These legends were never meant to be this twisted.
