Product Description

Book Description

The bestselling author of the acclaimed Merlin Trilogy returns to the magical world of King Arthur and Camelot--to tell a story of daring adventure, unexpected love, and unsurpassed enchantment. . . .

ALEXANDER THE FATHERLESS

Eager, burning, and young, Alexander has come of age to take vengeance on the treacherous King of Cornwall who murdered his father. He sets off toward Camelot to seek justice from King Arthur, only to be diverted by the beautiful and sensual Morgan le Fay, Arthur's sister. Using her wiles and her enchantments, Morgan persuades the young prince to attempt a theft of the Holy Grail. He is unaware her motives are of the darkest nature. . . .

ALICE THE PRETTY PILGRIM

Motherless daughter of a royal duke, Alice has lived a life of lively adventure, accompanying her father on his yearly pilgrimages. Now, on her father's final visit to Jerusalem, she comes under the protection of a young prince whose brothers were murdered, a prince who is in possession of an enchanted silver cup believed to be the mysterious Holy Grail itself.

Thus the stage is set for two young seekers to meet--and to find not what they are searching for but, instead, the greatest treasure of all . . . love.

"A wonderful love story set in the magical times of King Arthur and Camelot."

--Oklahoman



Ingram

Seeking retaliation against the uncle who had murdered his father, young Prince Alexander sets out for Camelot to obtain justice, only to run afoul of the bewitching Morgan le Fay, and joins forces with Alice, a beautiful pilgrim. Reprint. NYT.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Weak Plant From a Potent Seed, Jul 18 2000
By Jeffrey Siuda (Rochester, NY USA) - See all my reviews
Stories involving King Arthur and sundry acts of chivalrous derring 'do have always entertained me, so I was heartily disappointed in Stewart's novel, a return to the world of her Merlyn trilogy. Honestly, it seems like she simply ran out of gas or out of time. The novel sets up nicely, with two different plot threads that promise an epic resolution. Instead, the two main characters miraculously meet, fall in love and save the day, all in the space of about 90 pages. You know you are in trouble when you are reading a novel about the holy grail and one of the characters scoffs that it isn't the real holy grail, all the other characters agree, and everyone moves on. Yikes! I think Merlyn is rolling over in his crystal cave.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, Jan 2 2000
By Zoe (Washington) - See all my reviews
I thought this was a very sweet book and I enjoyed it a lot. Am I missing something? This is the first and only book of Mary Stewart's I've read. It was very entertaining and the characters were likable and understandable. Maybe this is not a masterpiece, but I very highly recommend it as a feel-good, fun-to-read book. Especially if you don't know much about the Arthurian legends, it's pretty self-explanatory. Definitely, read it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not up to Stewarts standards., Mar 27 1999
By A Customer
Mary Stewart is one of my favorite authors, I have read almost all of her books! So when my mom told me about this book, I grabbed the closest copy and spent the next 2 days reading. It was a decent book and better then some I've read, but I was surprised it was the same person who wrote the wonderful novels The Stormy Petral, Wildfire at Midnight, and my all time favorite The Ivy Tree. I suggest that you read it, just don't buy the hardcover, It's way to $ expensive $ for this kind of writing!
