Author's Note: The Orphaned King is based on the storyline from The Blood of The Kings trilogy by Jill Williamson. So the concept is not my own…neither are the characters from Merlin. To keep things from getting confusing I have a sort of a…dictionary..perhaps. I'm not sure what to call it, but you can refer back to this page for information concerning the little world a created in the upcoming chapters. I'll probably add on and update as the story progresses. Enjoy!

Oh, one more thing. If you think this sounds familiar and you may have seen it before on fanfiction , you're right. I have attempted this story once before, but got frustrated and completely left fanfic writing. But I decided to come back under a new name and finish this because it won't leave me alone. This is an improved version of what you may have read before….if you have read it before.
