    Summary

    Merlin tore his gaze away from the dead man in the bed. Immediately, it fell upon a book that lay open on the bedside table.

    "To break the curse placed upon the prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot," it read, "someone must sit by his side and read from this book, fanning his face and chasing the flies away, for three years, three hours and three minutes."
