Living her whole life in shades of dullness and boredom, Rory Ward never imagined that her life would ever change. But the strange arrival of a strange character with an even stranger story makes her realize that there's more to the world than she could have ever imagined, and that world has a history almost too fantastical to believe. But when she's thrust into an adventure to bring back the infamous Merlin, she soon learns that even magical history doesn't always tell the whole story, and it will soon be up to her not to rewrite the past, but to be the author of a potentially dangerous future.
