“Simultaneously heart-pounding and hilarious!”—Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Kingdom of the Wicked
Everything is finally going right for Emry Merlin. Now that Arthur is the king and her wayward magic is under control, she’s enjoying life as Camelot’s official court wizard—and as Arthur’s girlfriend.
But when an unexpected visitor arrives at court, Emry finds her hard-won position threatened. And Arthur is torn between listening to his advisors and following his heart. Even more troubling, war is on the horizon, with King Yurien’s access to dark magic ensuring Camelot’s doom. That is, unless Emry, Arthur, and Lance can find a way to defeat the evil sorceress Bellicent with magic from her own world. But undertaking a quest to Anwen is perilous business, and our young heroes will face many obstacles on their journey—from dangerous beasts to suspicious nobles to cursed maidens determined to find someone to marry.
Can Emry and Arthur save their kingdom and fix their relationship, or will they have to choose between their future and Camelot’s?
In this fantastical sequel to The Other Merlin, Emry no longer has to hide her gender to study wizardry, but with her magic suddenly acting up and Prince Arthur still engaged to Princess Guinevere, can she truly find her happily ever after?

“Schneider takes a familiar story and gives it the relevancy it deserves: with queerness, friendship, and, naturally, the woman-wizard we’ve been waiting for.”—Maggie Tokuda-Hall, author of The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea
Welcome back to the great kingdom of Camelot! Scandal, betrayal, and courtly crushes abound.
Emry Merlin should be living her best life as a wizard’s apprentice. Now that she no longer has to pretend to be her brother to study magic, she and Prince Arthur are closer than ever. Except King Uther has warned her to stay away from his son, and Emry’s magic is growing more unpredictable by the day.
Meanwhile, Arthur’s prophesied future as the One True King is closing in. And as his wedding to Princess Guinevere draws nearer, he discovers she’s hiding a shocking secret. When Emry learns that the only hope of fixing her increasingly dangerous magic is an eccentric Parisian alchemist, Arthur has his own reasons for accompanying her to French court, and for befriending an infamous gang of young nobles.
But it’s going to take a lot more than a depressed gargoyle, some obscenely tight trousers, and a deadly sports match to keep our young heroes from their destiny. Can these reluctant royals and wayward wizards set aside their drama and save their kingdom, or is Camelot doomed?
Prince Arthur is depressed, Lancelot’s been demoted, and Merlin is disguising her gender in order to practice magic . . . Welcome to the great kingdom of Camelot!

“Charming and sharply hilarious.”—BuzzFeed
Prince Arthur’s a depressed botanist who would rather marry a library than a princess, Lancelot’s been demoted to castle guard after a terrible lie, and Emry Merlin has arrived at the castle disguised as her twin brother, since girls can’t practice magic.
Life at court is full of scandals, lies, and back-stabbing courtiers, so what’s a casually bisexual teen wizard masquerading as a boy to do? Other than fall for the handsome prince, stir up trouble with the foppish Lord Gawain, and offend the prissy Princess Guinevere.
When the truth comes out with disastrous consequences, Emry has to decide whether she’ll risk everything for the boy she loves, or give up her potential to become the greatest wizard Camelot has ever known.
