Dreamers of the Grail
by Edwin Del Wollert
Category: Fiction

The Holy Grail. Is it the cup used by Christ at the Last Supper? A more ancient vessel of healing and longevity? or perhaps a Celtic cauldron offering wisdom to its seeker, and only satisfying those with heroic qualities? For centuries it has been discussed, debated, and occasionally, actively sought. What might it have been like, then, for the eager knights of King Arthur's court to quest after this legendary artifact, the object of their greatest adventures? First-time novelist Edwin Del Wollert offers a glimpse of the old heroes, one unlike the other tellings that have come before. Here are the younger knights of the realm: a daydreaming errant and a headstrong offspring of one of Arthur's champions. Together these two will venture forth in the name of Camelot. For the dream is fading from ancient Britain. Arthur has reigned for more than a score of years, but benefits no longer from Merlin's wise counsel nor the idealism felt when he first took the crown. Camelot has earned the rank of greatness, but not without cost. As dark elements of the past threaten rebellion, Arthur must trust his knights to preserve the legacy of his vision.
