Chapter 1

Merlin, How are you ? It’s been two months since your last letter. Is everything okay?

Merlin, Have you gotten any update about the Excalibur stone? Has Anders hidden it yet?

Merlin, Mikah told me you lied to make him your ally. Is it true?

As always, I wish you were here.

Love from the bestest cousin in the world,

Meryle

Or should I say Merlin’s doom.

The worry I’ve finally managed to put to sleep jerks awake and begins slithering around in the back of my mind. I still don’t have the courage to ask Merlin if what Mikah said is true. If it is, it’ll lead to the worst question: Have you lied about anything else?

I place the envelope next to my market basket and head outside. As I enter the forest that borders the western edge of my village, my thoughts drift upward, lazily entwining themselves in the gray birch tree branches. When I find the tree that Merlin and I carved our names into, I sit down. The sky is tinted in several shades of orange and the sun is a butterscotch orb, slowly sinking below a puffy cloud that meets
