Summary
A man stepped out of the car with a cane and stood there in the sun like something divine. He was young and handsome, his golden blond hair shining and his white suit nearly blinding. His gaze swept over the line of servants, but he didn’t seem to really notice them. He looked out over the grounds for a moment, and even at a distance Merlin could see his sadness.

Summary
Ten years after the Journey for the Dawn, the travelers meet up to celebrate their hard-fought victory, and the peace it had earned them. At the reunion, Temenos makes an offer to pen the story of their journey. All in the name of the preservation of history, of course— it wasn't as though he had any ulterior motives. At least, that was how it all started...

She threw a twig into the fire, more as something to do than an actual need to make it brighter. “Couldn’t sleep?”
“The last time I slept, someone very dear to me died,” Temenos said brusquely, “You can imagine I’m not keen to repeat the incident.”

Summary
A master thief, a friend from her past; a world-class locksmith, though he's never tested his skills in the field; a chameleon with the unique skill of being able to talk himself in and out of anywhere; a man on the inside, with connections and overdue favors from what seems like everyone.
Pearl Moon has gathered a crew for a final heist. Their mark? The Aphelion, a refurbished pirate ship setting sail on the open waters with thousands of old Spanish coins and dozens of other sunken treasures to sell at an auction to be held on the ship itself.

Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
