When Arthur Pendragon wakes from a poisoning he shouldn't have survived, something is wrong. Not with his body, but with the shape of the world around him. Someone that no one remembers has gone missing, but Morgana tells him what she has Seen: that the tug he feels in his heart says this missing person is not dead. Somehow, this person paid a price to save Arthur, but it wasn't a life for a life, as the Balance requires.
Arthur is going to do everything in his power to find this person, even if the council believes he's going mad like his father.
