Carina never meant to pull Excalibur from that rock.
Add rumors, lies, and a budding attraction to the magician guiding her, and Carina soon learns that the tournament is waged both on the field and in the heart..
The nobility, already at each other\'s throats, are not shy about making attempts on her life.
But her success marks her as a target.
Through grueling tournament events and crowded balls Carina manages to win her contests.
The widowed and childless Medelian king has announced a tournament to help him choose his successor, and since the Medelian people know nothing of Excalibur\'s purpose, Carina must use the tournament to prove her worth to the king, and win the hearts of the people.
Excalibur is a sword of legends, and it chose her to be the next heir to the Medelian throne.
Then a man called Merlin elbows himself into her path and reveals an unbelievable truth.
And despite wanting to help, she\'s powerless to fix anything.
She\'d hoped to find a simple job, live out her life in peace, but unease enters her heart as she realizes the rich trade center she\'d hoped for is stricken with poverty.
It\'s been two years since she escaped to her late mother\'s homeland of Medelios.
