Decades ago on Christmas Eve, one young boy in a tattered coat did the impossible deed, drawing the king’s sword from iron and stone. Proclaimed the chosen one, he plunged the world into conflict.
Now an aging man, Arthur, son of Uther, sits on the throne, all his enemies crushed beneath his feet. With the enchanted blade Excalibur at his side, he is invincible, and immune to the dark arts of those who would try to topple his dynasty.
But unbeknownst to the world, Arthur is going mad. A conniving wizard is pulling his strings. As the chaos mounts, the coastlands begin to whisper of another chosen one: a raven-haired boy bearing a black sword, a rival to Arthur, Excalibur, and all they stand for.
The truth may yet tear the world apart.
