The Book of Mordred traces the early life of King Arthur's son, painting a picture of arthurian society and culture that is remarkably different from myth and legend, yet still believable and captivating.

When Arthur orders Mordred to accompany Lancelot and Galagad on a quest for the Grail, he does so partly "to make a man of him" and partly to keep the inquisitive, skeptical Mordredfrom further exerting his influence on the other members of the king's court.  Arthur's plan succeeds, but the quest and its aftermath yield an outcome that the king could not have foreseen.

This is a tale of one young man's disillusionment and awakening, a story of his coming to items with himself and the world in which he play such a significant role.  The story combines the magic of sorcery and strange creatures, the mystery of the coveted Grail, and the mayhem of men fighting for their lives, and weaves the elements together in a tapestry of words that will adorn the reader's memory long after the book is finished.
