Grail prince

Arthur has fallen in battle, and Mordred and the best knights of Camelot have fallen with him. Lancelot is the only one of them left alive. He has abandoned Britain and the forbidden love for Guinevere that marked his life, and he lives as a broken man.

Before he died, Arthur gave Lancelot's son Galahad a task. Galahad must find three scattered relics: a grail, a spear and a sword. Britain's future depends on all three being recovered.

The quest is not the heaviest thing Galahad carries. He cannot forgive his father for betraying Arthur, and that grievance shadows every step he takes. Meanwhile he falls in love with Dandrane, the sister of his friend Percival.

An old prophecy of the Lady of the Lake says that only a man pure of heart can succeed. Galahad has to decide whether he can be that man while his anger at Lancelot still burns.

This is Arthurian fiction told after the fall of the court, with a young knight, a quest and a family wound at its centre. It is the second novel in Nancy McKenzie's Arthurian series and follows Queen of Camelot.
