The descendants of Merlin are mages called Merlins, like the mage who attempted to wipe Bree's memory earlier in the book, Sel. Each knight sometimes calls their Scion, which gives them power at the cost of a shortened life, and there is a set order in which they are called. The fifteen knights reincarnate into a descendant called a Scion. Over time, she slowly uncovers more about the society.
She gradually recovers her memory of her mother's death and is able to uncover the mage's organization enough to decide to infiltrate it as a page, which is a person training to defend the Legendborn nobles.
