"Jay Ruud's Merlin may or may not be a wizard, but the author certainly is, with his ability to infuse new energy into the well-loved mythical world of Arthur, once and future King. An imaginatively conjured tale, enlivened by the peripheral point of view of its narrator, Gildas, a young man coming of age in a time of legend. Enchanting!"
- Kyran Pittman, New York Times best-selling author of Planting Dandelions
When Sir Galahad arrives in Camelot, his vision of the Holy Grail at Pentecost inspires the entire fellowship of the round table to rush off in quest of the most holy relic. But when knight after knight turns up dead or seriously injured, often at the hands of their fellow knights, Gildas and Merlin begin to suspect some sinister force behind the grail madness, bent on nothing less than the destruction of Arthur's table. They begin their own quest: to find the conspirators behind the deaths of Arthur's good knights. Before they are through, they are destined to lose a number of close comrades, and Gildas finds himself finally forced to prove his worth as a potential knight, facing down an armed and mounted enemy.
