A tarnished saint and a polished devil sweep several
ordinary people into a struggle for the holy grail, winner
take the future.
When Maggie Sinclair walks into myth-haunted Glastonbury
Abbey, she intends only to teach a group of students the
stories of King Arthur. But she can't escape her mid-life
crisis, which soon leads her to answer a spiritual call to
arms that will change her world forever.
Maggie's student Rose Kildare is looking for romance and
adventure. What she finds is murder and a crisis of
faith. In searching for his missing father, a young Scot
named Mick Dewar finds not only Rose, but his family's
long-lost identity. And Ellen Sparrow thinks she's
already found certainty but instead loses almost
everything.
Over them all looms Robin Fitzroy. In the eleventh
century he was Robert the Devil, father of William the
Conqueror. Now immortal, secure in his pride, he serves
Lucifer himself. Only Thomas Beckett, the great English
saint, knows who Robin really is. Thomas let another man
be martyred in his place in 1170. Since then he's lived
as a humble scholar, seeking redemption for his sin. But
now, at the end of time, he discovers that it's up to him
to save the souls of mankind from Robin's clutches. He
risks making allies of Maggie, Rose and Mick, even as he
wonders whether not only his scholarship but his character
is strong enough to meet the challenge.
