About This Book

Emry Merlin sneaks through the bustling halls of Camelot, disguised as her twin brother, hiding a secret no one suspects—because girls aren’t supposed to do magic. Suddenly, a whispered betrayal and a stolen glance from Prince Arthur spark a chain of events that could change everything. But when the truth bursts into the open, will Emry’s world crumble or rise like a spell cast bold and bright?
