Summary
When Merlin kills Morgana, she thinks it’s finally over. But then she wakes up several years in the past, in the heart of Camelot, surrounded by the very people she wants dead.
She needs a plan, and she needs answers. Neither of these things turn out to be as simple as they seem, and Morgana begins to wonder if there could have been a different path for her after all.

Summary
As a child, Arthur didn’t know why he was kept away from the courtyard.
Or why it so often smelt… like that.
Until one morning, Sir Kay guided him to the balcony he’d only been allowed on sometimes. Only sometimes, because it looks over the courtyard.
His father was waiting for him, holding an arm out to beckon him closer. Arthur rushed in, latching himself onto his father’s side as it was so rarely permitted.
There was a crowd below him; he had never seen so many people in one place.
There was a pile of wood.
He remembers little outside of the way his eyes burned, how he at last understood that smell. He remembers forcing down his supper that night and emptying his stomach in the corridor before he could even reach his room.
Now he remembers it all.
He can’t feel the bruising stones under his knees, hardly tastes the leftover bile coating his mouth.
All he knows is the all-consuming realization that his greatest fear and anguish still holds the throne, even in his heart.

Summary
Golden, beautiful, charming, pompous Arthur, drawing everyone to him like moths to a flame. She thinks of how he is the only other person in the world who understands what it's like to be Uther Pendragon's child, to crave the approval of that looming shadow and want to break free of it in the same breath. She hates him. She hates him. She hates him.
It’s only part of the truth, even now.
