GENRE ↠ FANTASY, ADVENTURE
INSPIRATION ↠ DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
CW ↠ FANTASY VIOLENCE, SOME SEXUAL REFERENCES
A nameless fae has spent all of his life caring for the woods. Un-acquainted with the outside world, he is shattered when his caretaker—a great white stag—is killed in front of him. His grief awakens a sleeping power he cannot control, and he transforms into a woodland beast. His loss has revealed him to be a champion called a Stag, the true identity of the creature which had cared for him. They appear when the people of the world start down the path of destruction, but unlike previous cycles, he has been summoned alone.
Without a guide, and ignorant of how to begin, the Stag searches for those he can trust. He finds a beast-bunny girl, who hides her face, and a wizard that smells of fear. They’re wanted for destroying a magic tower, but they deny the accusation. An eccentric demon, employed by one hunting them, is their only hope of proving their innocence. Their investigation reveals a bitter betrayal, and a plot long in the making. Someone is trying to weaken the kingdom by syphoning its magic. This team of outcasts must outfight monsters and outwit mages. A daunting task when they don’t trust each other, but loyalties are soon forged and feelings never felt before are begging to be explored. If the stag loses his friends, he loses his new family, and he’ll have no one to help him save a world he’s barely beginning to understand. A task he knows he cannot do alone.

Carys has broken banshee law. She has frozen a man meant to die. For hundreds of years, she’s been waiting for him to return while imprisoned at the bottom of a lake. When he does, she’ll be fighting for both their lives. They’ll be facing his past and a banshee with a vendetta against her. But in her defiance, Carys is determined to guide King Arthur through the tragic events of his life to a happier ending. That is––if he will free the king’s sword from her when she’s turned to stone.
With Merlin by his side, Arthur knows that the second he takes the sword in the stone, he will be reliving his old life. Though his memories are vague, he remembers enough to know that it had been a sad one. Weary of the sorrow, he wishes for a more ordinary life. But can his pure heart ignore a maiden trapped by the sword he wants to leave behind?
CHARACTERS
ARTHUR PENDRAGON
MALE | 18 | Former King of Camelot
Arthur Pendragon once ruled Camelot as one of the greatest and most tragic kings to have lived. And when Merlin took him to Avalon to be buried, a banshee brought upon more tragedy. She's frozen him out of reach of death, and Arthur is reverted to the age he first pulled the sword from the stone. Now living in a 20th century, fairy tale, Camelot, he's navigating life with Merlin, ready to face the curse the banshee's song placed upon him.
Haunted by his past, Arthur keeps people at a distance. Reserved, stoic, and cool, people admire him from afar. The only place he lets loose is in the club, Battle Divide, to which he is president. The club's knight-styled activities keeps him sane, but nightmares prevent him from flourishing in his new life. When Carys appears, he is determined to keep her close. But this resurrected king may know more about the ghost haunting him than he's letting on.

Carys woke up as a banshee the night Arthur pulled the sword from the stone and has been lamenting the fallen of Camelot ever since. On the eve Merlin brought a dying Arthur to Avalon, she was only meant to sing to him, but tears she did not know she shed froze him out of death's grasp. Breaking banshee law forced her into a solitary prison until his awakening, and now she must protect him from the curse meant to punish her. The rulers of the dead want her to suffer by watching the man she cried for relive the tragedies of his life, but Carys won't let the unjust punishment lie. Nor will she let the banshee sent to kill her murder Arthur to make her disappear.
Determined to protect Arthur, Carys is trying to navigate through emotions she hasn't felt since in centuries. Cold, cautcious, and calculative, she analyzes her interactions with Arthur and his friends to a fault, but there are moments her naivety shows through, and the knights are giving her more attention than she's used to. Can the one true king lighten up this undead fairy? Or is she going to disappear for good?

The only person Merlin seems to care about is the one he led to ruin, and he's not going to let this opportunity to rewrite Arthur's story slip by. He's even more difficult to approach than Arthur or Carys, and he knows exactly what he's doing, feigning ignorance where he must and stopping Arthur from ruining his chances at getting what he really wants.
