   Summary

   Morgana and her sister Morgause take over Camelot with Cenred's help. Morgana decides to rub the salt in Arthur's wounds, and marries him off to Cenred in a sham wedding. Stuck alone in Essetir, Arthur has no means of escape, until a mysterious servant named Merlin arrives. He might just be the key to Arthur's release.
