**𝑨 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒆 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆. 𝑨𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒄𝒚. 𝑨 𝒘𝒂𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅𝒔. Between golden apples, fairy curses, and a haunted castle, a disguised princess begins her journey towards the crown.**
"Beware of apples made of golden light.
Their sweetness knows no end-only a price
for every immortal heart beats to the rhythm of a trade.
For the otherworld gives no miracles out of mercy-
only promises sealed with blood."
- Morgana LeFay -
Since Avalon was ravaged by flames and consumed by fog, the boundaries to the otherworld have become thin: trees sing ominous songs, rivers change their course, children disappear unseen from their beds, and the Aos Sídhe prepare for battle.
The balance of all Albion seems to have been thrown off since the death of the High King. Grief and fear are spreading; blood and ashes cover the fields in this world and the beyond.
While the maelstrom of war threatens to engulf the kingdom, Arianna, daughter of Uther Pendragon, grows up hidden and protected by her foster father Sir Ector, unable to remember her heritage, her burden and her destiny.
However, when an engagement is set to seal her future, she quickly steals away in the guise of the young squire Arthur and secretly joins the entourage of her foster brother Cei.
What begins as a journey to freedom leads brother and sister far from home into the clutches and intrigues of the otherworld when, beyond a heavy fog, they encounter an enchanted castle whose walls conceal a tree bearing golden apples...
It soon becomes clear whether Arianna has the courage to claim her legacy, for one thing is certain: only a king can unite the warring lords. The mortals as well as the immortals.
