The Broken Sword (Paperback)

When a teenage girl returns the Holy Grail to Arthur, the reincarnation of Camelot's High King, she joins him on a perilous quest - strange and perilous quest - strange because of the effects of Merlin's magic on the 20th century, and perilous because of a malevolent assassin who knows too much about the Grail and the young King. Arthur must make an impossible choice: to save the life of one he has come to love, he must shatter the fabled sword Excalibur - but breaking the sword will destroy Camelot's power and mark the failure of Arthur's mission to restore the Round Table.
