"In 1200 A.D., much in England has changed. Richard the Lionhearted has died and his duplicitous brother John has taken the throne. The Earl of Locksley has been outlawed by his old enemy, now the king, and Sir Alan Dale has had the estates granted to him by Richard I taken away again. But still Alan Dale lives comfortably with his beloved wife pregnant with their first child. But the good times aren't going to last. First, an old crime resurfaces and powerful forces being circling, seeking vengeance, including a renegade band of Knights Templar. Next, Alan's wife falls gravely ill and the only thing that might have the power to save her is the most sacred object in all of Christendom: the Holy Grail. Now, with the Templars hounding them at every turn, Alan Dale and his Lord, Robin Earl of Locksley--Robin Hood--must chase down the grail, believed to be in the hands of one of their old enemies. Chasing all over England and France, Alan, Robin Hood, and their companions in their quest, must find and procure the Cup of Christ before time runs out and all hope is lost. "--… (more)

What a grand adventure in which these grail knights were engaged. Author, Angus Donald, carries the reader easily into distant lands and bears the sounds and visions of battle - all in grand detail. His tale is, however, not merely the telling of one battle after another as the knights fight their way along their quest, but it engages moments of tenderness, beauty and mysticism. After riding alongside the knights on their long, arduous and exhausting quest, I found myself sharing in their victories and sorrows and was truly transported to a distant land of a long forgotten time.

[Hopefully, this tale was further edited to make right the errant grammar.] ( )

The book begins with Alan Dale quite comfortable at home at Westbury enjoying the company of his lovely wife Goody, and expecting the birth of his first child. Robin Hood has been made an outlaw again by King John and is residing in Sherwood Forrest. Alan's peace is about to be disturbed when the Knights Templar come looking for him in order to arrest him for past deeds. This is where the action begins, and pretty much does not stop until almost the last page.

Goody becomes unwell with her pregnancy as she has been cursed by the evil witch (Alan's ex-girlfriend) Nur. Nur has cursed Goody to die a year and a day from her wedding day. Robin convinces Alan to join him on a quest to find the "Holy Grail". Drinking water from the grail will break the curse that has been placed on Goody so Alan commits himself to the quest.

All the usual characters are present from the previous volumes, plus a couple of new additions as well as some old enemies. This book is definitely action packed, and in my opinion, is better than some of the previous books in the series. Having read this I am currently up to date with this series, however a new instalment will be out later this year. Needless to say, I will definitely be reading it. ( )
