Embark upon a quest rife with magic, wonder, and forces as dark as midnight. . . . Parallel universes and grave danger are nothing new to Nathan Ward. During his last mission, he risked life and limb to retrieve the Grail for safekeeping. But Nathan s adventures are just beginning. Lately his dreams have been transporting him to a desolate city whose people have fled save for a sickly king and his daughter, Princess Nell. In their decaying hilltop castle, they live in the shadow of a terrifying curse inflicted by a sword that holds within its gleaming metal an ancient demon conjured by the universe s most powerful wizard. It is a sword that brings death to anyone who dares to draw it from its sheath. But the king is dying, and the legend claims that only a stranger can save him . . . and that this stranger alone is destined to awake and defeat the dark evil in the sword. But who among mortals and spirits could ever imagine that a boy materializing into alternate worlds still dressed in his pajamas could be the chosen one . . . the one entrusted with the long-lost plan to retrieve the Grail relics and save a dying cosmos?"

Industry Reviews

Praise for The Greenstone Grail, Book I of The Sangreal Trilogy "A pleasure and treat . . . The Greenstone Grail has the feeling of an epic story, yet it retains all the elements of [a] fairy tale, told [in a] wonderful evocative tone . . . like Tolkien and C. S. Lewis." -SFRevu

"A refreshingly different Arthurian fantasy." -Publishers Weekly

"Compelling from the first page." -Booklist
