To me. A spell, a prayer, neither of which have been spoken by Arthur for years after he entered the paradise of Avalon, the only country in the world where magic is impossible. It’s free from war, strife, Stars and Nightmares. Or at least it was. When someone comes into Avalon and does the impossible, their peaceful exile is destroyed as Arthur and his friend Gwen are thrown into something neither truly wants. To get answers, they need to head to the Principalities, the lands of magic and monsters, where Gwen is anathema to everything there and Arthur is king. Or at least he was, before he ran from his title of the Once and Future King. Book 1 in The Normal Ones
