[From the back cover]
"As traitors burn the village of Azan to the ground, the Lady of Avalon, heavy with child, flees with her cousin's young son, heir to the sacred kings descended from Atlantis. Fearing for Mikantor's safety, Anderle leaves the babe to be raised in secret, then gives birth to her own daughter and returns to Avalon.
The years pass and Anderle loses track of the boy, but her visions of him fulfilling his destiny convince her that he will return. And when he does, he will be faced with a formidable task--to prove his worth as a son of the kings and priestesses of Avalon and lead his followers to victory wielding the legendary sword Excalibur."
