Everyone knew the story of Arthur Pendragon: the lost prince, kidnapped as a baby and never seen again. A pity he was meant to be Merlin's soulmate. When a handsome blond blacksmith who irritates and intrigues Merlin in equal measure arrives in his village his life of sorcery and stealing from the rich to give to the needy changes forever.

Arthur has returned from the depths of Avalon and Merlin is overjoyed, but he doesn't remember anything at all. Merlin will go to any lengths to bring back his memories, but things aren't all as they seem.

Sentenced to charity work after a drunken incident, Prince Arthur is less than thrilled to meet the sarcastic head of the charity, Merlin; only he can't seem to get him out of his head. As the pair slowly grow closer, it seems the universe is trying to pull them apart. But with magical threats lurking in every corner of Arthur's life, maybe a little magic is exactly what he needs.

Arthur and Merlin finally are just starting to realise their feelings for one another - near fatal accidents and Gwaine's dubious intentions aside - when a beautiful princess arrives with desperate plea to help save her kingdom from the beast that terrorises it. How will their new relationship survive the chaos of a quest against a deadly foe and the temptations of the fairer sex?
