Author: rainbow_connec
Rating: R, Language
Word count: ~6000
Characters/Pairings: Arthur/Gwen, Uther, Nigel, OC
Warnings: Story draws more from history and various aspects of the different versions of the legend than the BBC interpretation, but most of the characters are familiar; minor character death
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin
Summary: War threatens the fragile peace of the Pendragon kingdom. The Druid tribes have amassed their forces along the borders of the north and a young Prince Arthur must face his enemies on a frozen battlefield without the guidance of his ailing father. But there are greater dangers to fear and they loom closer to him than he’d ever suspected. As his ascendancy to the throne nears, Arthur must learn to rule his people amongst ambitious men and sinister elements unaware of his great destiny or the secret forces working to help forge his legendary fate.
Author’s notes:: Written for ag_fics 2nd Long Challenge for the prompt: Shadow where it won 1st Runner Up which was a seriously wonderful honor because the other eight stories were really fantastic and so well-written. If you haven't read them yet, you can find them all here.
It dangled so much promise, all the good and none of the bad.
