Prologue

Camelot, a kingdom free of magic for almost 20 years. At one time magic and the people of Camelot lived in harmony. That time came to an end the day Queen Igraine died giving birth to her son, the prince. From that day forward the Great Purge swept through the land. Magic users were brought forth and executed. Uther Pendragon, ignorant of the repercussions, and blinded by hate, condemned anyone suspected of witchcraft. The sentence was death. Families were destroyed, children left orphaned. The time has come; Uther must now deal with the consequences of his actions. His enemies have grown, multiplying in numbers, waiting in the shadows for their opportunity to strike.

Unknown to many an ancient prophesy is about to go into effect. For in it hold the key to the salvation of many, and a way for peace to come from a time of darkness and misery. It foretold a light in the darkness, one that will hold the heart of a prince, save a kingdom, and her people. A woman gifted with magic unlike anyone has ever seen. The druids call her Emrys, and to them she is their beacon of hope. They constantly have their eye out for her hoping that they will be able to meet her in their lifetime, for the druids pledge a magically binding oath of loyalty to her in order to be initiated as a full member of the community. Their wait is over, for her time has come.
