Thundering down through the centuries comes the legend of chivalry carved out by EXCALIBUR -- the magic sword of Arthur Pendragon -- with all the mysticism and heroic courage of the Arthurian legend transmuted to a time and a place remote from Camelot -- but linked to it in the still desperate struggle against evil. One of the most enduring legends of the Western hemisphere is the story of Arthur Pendragon, the Round Table, and the mighty sword Excalibur -- which only a Pendragon could wield. When power is vested in an object, even though the people surrounding it might be long dead, the object itself grows in strength and stature -- achieving, in time, the force of religious significance. Equally, an object of Evil can be so invested -- and hence, can grow as dangerously powerful. This, then, is a modern tale set in Mobile, Alabama of the age-old struggle between good and evil; a struggle which has never ceased, a struggle in which the chief protagonists remain linked to the earlier champions by heredity or by witchcraft.
