   Summary

   After Camleot is overrun by Morgause's army and Morgana is revealed to be a spy, Merlin is forced to free The Great Dragon. He gives him the answer he seeks yet takes something much larger, when the citadel is weak he kills Uther Pendragon.

   Arthur, overcome with loss, begins searching for the only man who can help him defeat The Great Dragon, the last Dragonlord. What they find, however, is much more than either Merlin or Arthur expected. In the shadow of that cruel night, Merlin must face the truth of his heritage and hide it from his best friend, the new king of Camelot.
