King Arthur. His treacherous son, Mordrath. His sorcerous half-sister, Morgenna le Fey. His wily mentor and court magician, Merlin. Most of us think their story ended when the mortally wounded King was ferried back to Avalon.

But early in the 21st century, three visitors to New Orleans discover that the story isn't over, and they've become a vital part of it. Jon Weldon is looking for a new life, but Pamela Lukencole and Carro Cathmore are just vacationing after a high school reunion. All of them are abruptly summoned to the magical realm of the Oldeven Core, where they're needed to reverse a deadly spell cast by the evil Prince Mordrath.

They're willing to help. But if the Avalonians and the faery-tale residents of Oldeven can't save the Otherworld, can mere mortals? Can they even save themselves?
