Synopses & Reviews
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.
Arthur Blessing is no ordinary ten-year-old. The Grail is his by chance, this time, but the power to keep it--a power as ancient as time itself--is his by right.
Now he must stay alive--battling foul sorcery and indefatigable assassins--long enough to use that power.
Review
"I read two or three pages and got hooked.
The Forever King [is] one of the most original things I've read in years. I can't recommend it highly enough." --Marion Zimmer Bradley, author of
The Mists of Avalon"This suspense-filled, action-laden novel supplies a fresh perspective on the King Arthur legend, deftly weaving historical facts together with a large amount of fun and imagination. Highly recommended." --Library Journal
"I am reminded of the masterpiece, The Daughter of Time, by Josephine Tey, another book that skillfully interweaves past and present to the enchantment of both." --Morgan Llywelyn, author of Lion of Ireland
