1189 AD. When Wolfram meets Fatima of Toledo, he is set upon a quest to stop his own army from reaching Jerusalem, for he learns that the hands of the army’s leader, Emperor Frederick, contain a mysterious and ancient weapon called the Grail, whose powers over reality seem limitless. As Frederick leads his army every closer to calamity, he is plagued by nightmares of a dark figure seemingly linked to the stone. And Fatima faces the most dangerous task of all: disguising herself as a poet named Kyot and sneaking into the court of Eleanor of Aquitaine and her son, the newly crowned King Richard the Lionheart...
