As she’s escaping these enraged religious men with an extreme lack of originality in fashion, her mother’s dying wish is for her to take a big sword to Merlin. That is, just not as much as Nimue can, as a special druid child.Īnyway, Nimue, as a Fey and a supposed witch, ultimately ends up in the crossfire when this angry mob of priests who call themselves the Red Paladins decide they should casually commit genocide and eradicate their people to ‘cleanse the earth for God’. Nothing is ever really explained about what the Hidden is, but it seems like these are the sources of power and ‘other’ that the Fey people can access compared to normal humans. Ever since, Nimue has had these strong powers where she can use the ‘Hidden’. In this instance, Nimue is a young girl perpetrated as a witch in her own village of Fey people (who are also called Druids) because of an accident where a demon bear hurt her as a young girl. For those who don’t know much about the Lady of the Lake or Nimue, she’s portrayed differently in many stories of the legend but in most, she is an ally to Merlin and helps Arthur take the throne as the one true king. From the beginning, I was excited to get through this story because the Lady of the Lake has always intrigued me.
