    Summary

    Merlin flees Ealdor with nothing but a pack on his back and his mother’s desperate instructions: "go to Camelot, hide with Gaius, and keep your head down." With King Cenred hunting for the powerful young warlock born on his borders, the heart of Uther Pendragon's anti-magic kingdom seems like the last place Merlin should be safe.

     

    ​But when an arrogant crown prince risks his life to fetch a cure for a dying servant—guided through the dark by a mysterious, floating orb of blue light—everything changes. Arthur knows Merlin's secret. And instead of execution, Arthur makes a silent, fierce vow: he will protect his clumsy servant, no matter the cost, until he can reshape Camelot into a kingdom safe enough for the man he is secretly falling for.

    Summary

    Arthur and Merlin have a special relationship. They always have, even when they were prince and servant. While many question it when first noticing, eventually it becomes an understanding in Camelot—and even among some other countries—that where there is Arthur, there is Merlin. And, where there is Merlin, there is Arthur.
    Or

    Arthur and Merlin's relationship as witnessed and explained by others.
