Summary
It’s been three months since Arthur’s death.
The kingdom tries to move on, but Merlin… he’s still stuck on the day he held Arthur in his arms, unable to accept that he’s lost him forever.
His pain comes to an end when one day, unexpectedly, Arthur comes back from the waters of Avalon.
Trying to solve the mystery of this sudden return, Arthur and Merlin keep protecting the kingdom from the dangers that still threaten it, like the Saxons, whose new leader is ready to conquer the throne on Morgana’s name. It seems like nothing has changed, but everything has: the secret that Merlin was so afraid to reveal to Arthur ends up bringing them even closer to each other. In a Camelot where magic is no longer banned, in a new world where he can be by Arthur’s side without hiding who he is, Merlin finds himself living a dream with the fear of waking up, happy for Arthur’s return but also terrified by the idea of losing him again.
Now that secrets between them are over, Arthur finds out Merlin has done so much more than hide his magic: to protect him he's suffered, sacrificed everything, made difficult choices. He begins to know a side of Merlin that’s new to him, and yet, that somehow he’s always known… and loved.

Summary
Hunith watched the two young men for a moment, her expression softening as she took in the easy camaraderie between them. It was clear that Merlin had found more than just a prince to serve in Arthur. He had found a friend, a companion; something that she knew was incredibly rare for someone in his position.
