Publisher: In a darkened house not far from the place where Camelot may once have stood, a madman schemes, plotting toward the day when he will wrest the cup that men call the Holy Grail from the boy who is its guardian.

Now he must stay alive — battling foul sorcery and indefatigable assassins — long enough to use that power.
