Once & Future

Ari Helix has spent her life on the run. When she reaches Old Earth and pulls a sword from stone, she discovers that her troubles belong to a much older story: she is the newest incarnation of King Arthur. Merlin, now aging backward into adolescence, hopes she can finally break the cycle that has trapped them both. Their quest unfolds across a galaxy dominated by a ruthless corporation, where familiar legends acquire unfamiliar shapes. Ari must gather allies, confront the power controlling their lives and navigate her connection with a queen named Gwen. Saving the future will require more than repeating a heroic past that has already failed too many times.
