Setting: Camelot, Joyous Garde

In the darkest forest…

A scared, forsaken child has become the most powerful –and feared– man in the world. Ruthless and unrestrained, Kerrigan has long ceased to be human and has become something else entirely.

In the heart of London…
An unassuming peasant, Seren dreams of becoming her own woman. All she wants is to leave behind her drudgery and penury. But she never expects that running from her fate will put her in the path of her destiny.

Their worlds are forever changed…

Kerrigan’s goal is simple: Barter or kill Seren to claim Arthur’s sacred Round Table. But simple it’s not, for she is the one person who holds no fear of him, a woman whose honesty sparks something foreign inside him. But in his nether realm, kindness is weakness and a king who harbors any sort of compassion loses his throne.

For countless centuries, Kerrigan has lived alone in the shadows until the day when one woman’s courage forces him into the light that could either be both their salvation, or both their deaths.
