“There was no telling what tomorrow might bring. For all that they'd lost-for Gawain, who was likely enduring horrors, for their dear friend, the protector who could not protect his beloved, for a kingdom which teetered on the edge of disaster-and for a love that might fall apart and betray them both as pawns in the mages' game. It all hung in a horrible balance.
But today, tiny dots of yellow flowers waved in the tall grass under a clear sky. The sun shone. The three of them were safe. Arthur and Vera loved one another.
They were alive.
And for now, that was enough.”

“Magic leaves no archaeological trace, which is largely why you’ve grown up learning about this time as the Dark Ages.”
