Summary
The great and ancient city of Camelot had been lost to time. Some believe it had never existed in the first place, while others speculated and theorized on just where it was and what had happened to it.
In the 21st century, it is found, and sends waves through the modern world.
An archaeologist and his field techs uncover the site, and discover the great relics that lay within.
A scholar rethinks her entire body of research.
An online theorist rethinks his entire life.
And a children’s author reminisces on centuries gone past.Or, a look at the discovery of the lost city of Camelot, through multiple modern POVs!

Summary
On the night that Arthur learns of Merlin’s magic, a witchfinder is brought to Camelot. Fearing for his life and his chances of escape from the castle, Merlin turns to his last option. To travel through Nimheu’s Mirror, an indestructible artefact left behind when Nimheu fled Camelot at the start of the purge, said to have taken sorcerers away from the fear of the pyre, never to be seen again. On the other side, Merlin does not quite find the safe haven he was expecting. He is back in Camelot. But not his Camelot. An older Camelot, a harsher Camelot, with an older and harsher King to rule her. He cannot go back, he can only go on. But how? And what will his own Camelot do without him?

Summary
Alone and isolated by his immortality, Merlin journeys once more to Camelot, to the site of an old story Gaius once told him. Beneath the castle, in a hidden crypt, it is said sorcerers once escaped Uther's purges - but how? And to where?
Merlin intends to find out.
But when he stumbles into another world, another Camelot, when he finds Arthur, alive but changed, he must do all he can to prove himself true. Even if it means his own undoing.

Summary
Merlin had done it. He had revealed his magic live on national TV by unconsciously saving the Prince's life. Magic which was, apparently, more powerful than he had thought. Powerful enough to grant him a place among the best magic users of the kingdom...
And as a personal guard to the royal family.
Considering his rather embarrassing crush on the Pendragon heir, it was all very overwhelming.
Also, who would want to kill Albion's Royal Family anyway?sequel to 'Boy at the Gates'
