Here is River Hales's "Far From Camelot." It is the second novel in the Far From series.
["Merlin
The Kingdom of Camelot did not fall with the death of King Arthur. But I did. I fled to another world because I couldn’t face the shame of my failure, of letting Mordred le Fay kill his own father. Even now, after a thousand years, I hate him.
When he shows back up in my life after all this time, that hatred is rekindled. He thinks my hatred equals obsession, but he’s wrong.
Then one premonition brings me to my knees, and I think he might’ve been right all along.
Mordred
I murdered my own father, but I have no regrets. If I regret anything, it’s letting my witch of a mother steal the throne of Camelot when it was meant to be mine. But can I even regret that when it’s what brought me to Merlin?
He may have misplaced his magic, but I’ll help him find it again. His passionate hatred is what I thrive on. His rough touch, his eager submission.
I don’t want to let him go, but I know I have to. It’s Merlin’s destiny to return to Camelot."]
I wasn't sure about this one. Though I'm a firm shipper of Arthur + Merlin. But the Mordred + Merlin vibes in here? I can see it (after I all but forced the images of the BBC Merlin actors out of my head).
The darkness, the evil-appeal, the magical connection (literally and figuratively). I wasn’t prepared for the constantly changing power dynamic, and honestly, it made the entire book. The two of them taking turns being soft and submissive and then angry and dominating was sooo perfect; it made so much sense for them as people and them as a couple.
Trigger Warnings: murder of a parent (on-page), assault, violence, battle, more murder, grief and trauma, cruel parents, dubious consent during a panic attack, choking, light blood play, light BDSM, pain play, snakes (yup), and more.
