His past is a mystery, his courage and loyalty unparalleled--and it is he who has been chosen to safeguard the beautiful Princess Ilene, herself as brave and able as any knight who stands by Arthur's side. For foul treachery has invaded the realm, drawing a hero reborn into the land of the barbarian--to battle a dread evil for the imperiled future of Camelot. . .and to fulfill a destiny as magnificent as his name.
