The Adventures of Katrina Picket
When she was ten years old, Katrina Picket woke Merlin. It was quite by accident - she'd had no intention of doing any such thing. But is was fortunate for everyone in England that she did as peril was looming. And since Merlin's magic could only be unleashed with royal assent she also had to wake Arthur, and Guinevere, and Lancelot, and Mordred...
