Summary
(Hope)
Morgana has finally made the move they've all been dreading: invading Camelot, with Agravaine leading the charge. Arthur and Merlin are ousted, half his knights are locked up by his sister, and the rest are scattered among his missing people. Running into the frankincense smugglers he'd spent the last year looked for is just cosmic mockery of his failure as a king. Guinevere waits in Ealdor, danger closing in whilst Arthur and Merlin have a lot to explain.
And Arthur finally gets to see that stupid rock in the forest everyone's been nattering on about. What idiot thought sticking a sword in a stone was a good idea?
