The final book in the ARTHUR trilogy opens in Venice, with Arthur de Caldicot, now age 16 and a knight, impatiently waiting to partake in the Fourth Crusade attack on the Saracens. As he encounters reasoning and judgments that run contrary to his own faith and morals, the purpose of the Crusade becomes less and less clear to him. The black seeing stone given to him by Merlin mirrors the last days at court at Camelot with his own troubling experiences. Will Arthur be able to make the right choices?
