For the last twenty-three years, I’ve had nothing but bad luck. A family curse from my late mother’s side, I’m told. I’m constantly covered in bruises from tripping over my two left feet. I get stuck at all the red traffic lights. If there’s a bird in the sky, it will find a way to poop on me. And don’t get me started on thunderstorms. Fuck those. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been struck by lightning.
But there’s a reason for my family’s bad luck. Something I discover after going through my mother’s belongings.
I’m the last living descendant of Merlin, sorcerer and adviser of King Arthur. And our family broke a blood oath to the King of Legends.
Everything I thought I knew is crumbling with these revelations, my entire life in upheaval. Now I’m racing against time to fix my bloodline’s broken promise. Because flying to a foreign country and raising a cursed, mythological king isn’t hard enough; add an ancient sorceress intent on keeping Arthur down and ending Merlin’s bloodline at last.
Oh, and did I mention how fucking hot Arthur is?
He might not be the sanest dude in our group of misfits, but who would be after fifteen hundred years stuck in his own head? But damn does Medieval Times sure look good on him, so I think I can let his crazy slide.
Because maybe…though I’d never admit it, I’m starting to like the chaos.
Arthur
For the last fifteen hundred years, I’ve waited to be freed, stuck inside a tomb of stone. With every passing year, I've been forced to watch through the eyes of others as the world I knew changed time and time again.
Now I'm back, thrust into a new and confusing world. My knights, my kingdom, my people.… All lost to the sands of time. All because I lost myself and my purpose. And I can’t help but wonder: Am I even a king with no crown or kingdom?
I’m scared of what this means for my future. I’m scared I’m not strong enough to fight back the curse. I’m scared this will all end in disaster.
But when those despairing thoughts creep in, there’s one light that keeps my hope from snuffing out. And he has bright, blue eyes, raven-black hair, and a snarky mouth I just want to—Ungh.
My curse keeps growing stronger every day and time is not on our side. But with the help of Will and his quirky family, we sprint to find the Holy Grail before my curse becomes permanent. Though each day it becomes harder to fight back the beast within, to constantly rein in the demon.
But when the beast threatens to take control, thank God Will is there to tether me to my humanity.
He helps me realize I’m more than my name, my past, and my crown.
