The stunning conclusion to the trilogy takes young Arthur de Caldicot to Venice, where thousands of knights and footsoldiers are mustering for the Fourth Crusade. Arthur's eyes are soon opened to the horrors of war, and when he looks into his seeing stone he realises that the exploits of King Arthur and his knights are like those of the crusaders, as grim as they are glorious.
War, romance, murder, family quarrels, power politics. the conflict between Christianity and Islam: all these are elements in an action-packed story that gives a startlingly vivid picture of medieval life, enriched by earthy comedy and the magic of the Arthurian legends.
