One of the most enduring legends of the Western hemisphere is the story of Arthur Pendragon, the Round Table, and the mighty sword Excalibur—which only a Pendragon could wield. When Power is vested in an object, even though the people surrounding it might be long dead, the object itself grows in strength and stature—achieving, in time, the force of religious significance. Equally, an object of Evil can be so invested—and hence, can grow as dangerously Powerful. This, then, is a tale of the age-old struggle between good and evil; a struggle which has never ceased, a struggle in which the chief protagonists remain linked to the earlier champions by heredity or by witchcraft It is an extraordinary tale of wonders, of adventure, of heroic courage—and of lovers who might have been. In short, it is Adult Fantasy—the heartland of great story-telling, and a proud addition to Ballantine Books’ Adult Fantasy series.
