I came to Camelot to kill a king.
Instead, I became his obsession.
Magic is banned in Camelot—hunted, executed, erased.
When my own power surfaces, I’m marked for death and forced to cross the infamous Standing Stones… right into the hands of Merlin himself.
Merlin turns me into something dangerous.
A weapon.
A secret.
A woman trained to destroy a king.
Now I’ve returned to Camelot disguised as a male knight, competing in the Shadow Trials—the king’s brutal recruitment of elite warriors.
My mission is simple: destroy Arthur Pendragon from the inside.
Except Arthur isn’t what I expected...
Brutally handsome.
Cruel.
Magnetic.
His icy blue eyes seem to see through me as easily as he wields the magic he condemns.
He wants my surrender.
He gets my defiance.
And when he drags me to the edge of obedience, hatred starts to taste a lot like hunger.
Then there’s Lancelot—Arthur’s deadliest knight.
Sharp-eyed.
Lethal.
Sinfully beautiful.
He's a predator in polished armor who watches me like he can see the woman beneath the disguise… and he's already deciding what to do with her.
In a court built on secrets and sharpened by betrayal, surviving the Trials means choosing the right enemy.
One wants to break me.
One wants to claim me.
And both would burn down kingdoms for the truth I’m hiding.
