Arla Jones

Merlin did not choose his apprentice.

She arrived barefoot one frostbitten morning, unafraid of wards, unawed by power, and listening to magic as if it had been waiting for her. Enid does not learn spells the way others do. She hears them. She feels the pull of ancient iron beneath stone, the patience of a sword meant for kings, and the danger of legends that demand sacrifice.

As Camelot rises toward its destined glory, Merlin realizes too late that the most important force shaping its future will never wear a crown. While prophecy sharpens and the sword waits, Enid must choose whether to answer a calling that could bind her to history—or walk away and let the world remember only the myth.

Some stories are carved into stone. Others are whispered, forgotten, and carried forward by magic alone.

This is the story history did not keep.
