Camelot is being built, the king returns from overseas victorious and Tor is still a squire. Fed up with expectations, still feeling guilty over stealing the fake sword despite doing it to protect Arthur we find Tor still believing he is not yet good enough to be a knight. Instead a chance to escape himself is presented in the form of a note from a lady he never managed to find years ago. What he discovers will threaten friendships, his own life and the very core of Camelot. As Tor struggles to find the right path he can not work out if Merlin is helping or mocking him and his very own quest leads to more danger and secrets.
