In a darkened house not far from the place where Camelot may once have stood, a madman schemes, plotting toward the day when he will wrest the cup that men call the Holy Grail from the boy who is its guardian. Arthur Blessing is no ordinary ten-year-old. The Grail is his by chance, this time, but the power to keep it--a power as ancient as time itself--is his by right. Now he must stay alive--battling foul sorcery and indefatigable assassins--long enough to use that power.

Arthur Blessing is more than just a mere ten-year-old boy, for his name defines myth and magic. To keep the power —which is as ancient as time itself— is his by right. But forces beyond human understanding are determined to claim it for themselves. With Hal Woczniak as his unlikely guardian, Arthur must cross continents and centuries to survive long enough to fulfill his destiny… if he chooses to at all…
Cochran and Murphy deliver a fresh, engaging twist on the Pendragon legend, blending action, mystery, and a dual setting that shifts between the present day and the ancient world . The characters are well drawn and evolve naturally as the story unfolds, and the emotional range is impressive — I laughed, I cried, and more than once found myself on the edge of my seat.
It’s one of those books I never tire of rereading, and the entire THE FOREVER KING trilogy is something I recommend wholeheartedly.
