The enemy without is decimated, its fighting-aged men annihilated; twenty years of peace born of the blood-bathed blade Excalibur, wielded in glory and honor by the sandy-haired Silure sovereign.

A flicker of freedom and a light of liberty in a dark world. Justice, love and equal opportunity for every individual reigns. But no good thing long endures, and all things end… The second volume of the Arthuriad continues to weave and guide us through the dark and complex journey that is the Arthurian saga from the time of Mynydd Baeden to the brink of Civil War, giving us healthy portions of Morgaine of the Faeries, Lancelot, and Taliesin, along with hints and shadows of Cups and Perfect Knights, and supposedly long dead wizard along the way.
