Synopsis

Europe: the sixth century. The Roman Empire has collapsed, and many rival kingdoms have grown up in its place. In the northern regions of Britannia, a last stronghold of Roman ways, the young Prince Galahad broods vengeance on the man who fathered him and abandoned him to an insane mother and a terrifying, druid grandfather: the king's general, Launcelot.

His plan takes him to the court of Arther, High King of Britannia, and into the elite fellowship sent forth to acquire the greatest relic in Christendom - the Holy Grail. Caught up in an uneasy alliance, he and his fellow warriors must journey across a treacherous continent, pitting their skill against the earthly powers of the Franks and Goths and confronting the spiritual might of the Church itself. The Grail will demand the utmost - even the ultimate - sacrifice from all the questors, but it is Galahad alone who, when their goal is within reach, must make the final decision between revenge and redemption.
