Summary
'This is where my destiny lies,' Adam Parrish thought to himself as he looked down the hill at the impressive city of Camelot. 'No, that’s stupid,' he chastised. There was no great destiny waiting for him no matter what some crazy, old woman had said.
Gwenllian, the village witch, had predicted that one day Adam would have a place in the court of King Richard III. Adam had felt the magic in his blood tingling at the words, as ridiculous as they were.

“We could use the servant. Someone needs to take the blame,” Joseph said. Adam tried to back away but at once there was a knife to his throat.
Ronan’s eyes widened. “What are you doing? Let him go.”
“I know what you want,” Joseph said. “You want the king dead. If the cost of that is a useless servant, why does that matter?”

“Such as?”
“The parade of princesses."
“Ah, such a burden that all those beautiful women wish to marry you,” Blue said.

Summary
“Yes,” Adam said. “I am the sorcerer you are looking for.”
“Adam, are you confessing this under some sort of duress?” Gansey asked.
“No sire,” Adam said with resignation.
“The boy will be executed at midday tomorrow,” his father said.
Gansey could not bear to look at Adam any longer. His gaze slid up to the crown and in the very back he saw Ronan pushing forward, his eyes ablaze with fury. He opened his mouth to shout something and somehow Gansey knew he was about to confess to the magic himself to save Adam’s life. His father would have exactly what he wanted and probably kill Adam for good measure.

Summary
“I have clung to what little life I have left that I might wed the greatest warlocks who will ever live in Camelot,” the Fisher King said.
“You can’t be serious,” Adam choked out.
“He is power and you are control. Your marriage of the flesh will be a union of your magic also.” Ronan felt exposed as if this man had looked inside his heart and offered Ronan what he wanted most.

Summary
Ronan could hold himself back no longer. He grasped the front of Robert’s shirt and shoved him into the doorpost. “If you ever speak any words like that to another soul, I will slit your throat,” he said, putting as much menace into his voice as he could manage.
“You know?” Robert said, his face now shocked and pale. “You know what a freak that boy is and you haven’t executed him yet?”
“Never speak about my husband that way again,” Ronan growled.
“He married a knight?” Robert gasped. He finally looked as afraid as Ronan wanted him.
“He married a prince.”

Summary
“Ronan, it has come to my attention that you have been going out in search of your servant every day despite my orders,” the king said. “It is not worth it. My staff will find you another servant.”
“No, we need to keep looking for him. You cannot replace him.”
“Why not?” the king demanded.
“Because he is my husband,” Ronan shouted. All around them the court gasped and whispered. He could see Henry silently mouthing a string of curses. Ronan quickly looked to Gansey for his reaction and saw only confusion on his face.
“You married your servant?” the king asked in furious disbelief.

Summary
The thing people did not realize about being king, is that if you were a good one, you were never allowed to have what you wanted.
This was evidenced well by Declan’s father. Niall had been a selfish man. Instead of strengthening Lindenmere by marrying for an alliance, he chose a farmer’s daughter for his wife. Magic was a dangerous thing, and he did not shield his kingdom from it. He used it to take what we wanted: power, riches, enchantments. The comfortable, lavish life he had created ended violently.
So, it had been foolish of Declan to fall in love with one of his spies.
