Grail (The Pendragon Cycle, #5)

By Patricia Hutchison, Melisa Holmes, Trish Hutchison

Book Overview

Book 5 of the Pendragon Cycle. A magnificent epic set against the backcloth of Roman Britain and Celtic legend. 'Only that which endures beyond time is worth having. Well I know it. I, who have given all for the mastery of time and the elements, know the value of life. Not for nothing am I called the Queen of Air and Darkness.' An old enemy arises, and Arthur's dreams of establishing his Summer Realm of peace and prosperity face ruin when the sacred relic, the Holy Grail, vanishes as the result of a hideous betrayal. So now Arthur faces the greatest challenge of his sovereignty: a quest of recovery and a trail that winds inexorably toward a grim confrontation with his most foul nemesis - and his destiny.

The Quest for Truth

Picking up exactly where "Pendragon" left off, "Grail" puts a new and interesting spin on the legend of the holy grail.

Many readers might argue at the 'changes' Lawhead has made to the legends, but a legend by literary...

Another great book from the Pendragon Series.

Lawhead's Done It Again!It is truly the mark of a good author when a relatively long book series retains all of it's brilliance and originality to the very end. Lawhead has accomplished this and more with his wondrous Pendragon Cycle.Grail is the 5th and final installment in the series (unless you include Avalon in the list). While I think that this is the weakest book of the series, it is still superb and certainly worth...

Miraculous

This is one of my favorite Pendragon books, perhaps because it was so different. First of all, it was all in the viewpoint of Gwalchavad, with little inserts from Morgian in between, believe it or not. I loved that. Lawhead did pure, humble Gwalchavad wonderfully; immediately the reader likes him. Hearing from Morgian was very revealing, both to her character and to her plot. It enabled some of her schemes to be discovered...

If you like the Authurian legends you'll love this.

This book takes you through the infamous search for the Holy Grail. Its vivid imagery and wonderful storytelling takes you back to the time of Authur and the Round Table.
