Summary
Uther Pengdragon is dead. King Ryence may sit the throne, but his claim will never be secure, because Prince Arthur has survived the carefully planned assassination. With nothing but vengeance in his mind and love for Merlin in his heart, Arthur threatens to undo all the alliances which brought about Uther's downfall as the prince is heading south to raise the rebellion.
However, Arthur's not the only one to defy the new king. Fierce Uther's loyalists to the West of White Mountains, ruled by Uther's aunt, refuse to bend the knee in pursuit of their own goals. Meanwhile the druids join their forces with Morgause and Morgana who, having recovered from being poisoned by Merlin, is willing to take part in building a free kingdom.
With Gaius under arrest, Gwen is left alone in the castle of the new king where every wrong step may be her last. In the summertime perfumed with love, conspiracy, vengeance, sorcery and war, it is up to Merlin to make the future of Albion hang in balance. However, the sunstone and moonstone magic leaves less and less time for young warlock, and he must hurry.
