Book 5 of the Pendragon Cycle. A magnificent epic set against the backcloth of Roman Britain and Celtic legend. 'Only that which endures beyond time is worth having. Well I know it. I, who have given all for the mastery of time and the elements, know the value of life. Not for nothing am I called the Queen of Air and Darkness.' An old enemy arises, and Arthur's dreams of establishing his Summer Realm of peace and prosperity face ruin when the sacred relic, the Holy Grail, vanishes as the result of a hideous betrayal. So now Arthur faces the greatest challenge of his sovereignty: a quest of recovery and a trail that winds inexorably toward a grim confrontation with his most foul nemesis - and his destiny.

Stephen Lawhead is the internationally acclaimed author of many outstanding fantasy and science fiction novels, including The Song of Albion trilogy, the Pendragon series and Bright Empires. Stephen lives in Oxford with his wife Alice. They have two grown up sons.
They called him unfit to rule - a lowborn, callow boy, Uther's bastard son. But his coming had been foretold in the songs of the bard Taliesin. He had learned the uses of power from his guide and protector, Merlin. He was Arthur Pendragon of the Island of the Mighty - who would rise to legendary greatness in a Britain torn by violence, greed, and the war; the Lord of Summer who would usher in a glorious reign of peace and prosperity: and whose noble, trusting heart would be broken by treachery.
