Ten years after Lancelot seized power, he leads a witch hunt, aided by Saxon mercenaries, to track down Arthur and his knights—now divided and scattered. The latter, exiled to his former homeland, Rome, to escape Lancelot’s madness, hides in the abandoned house of his first wife, Aconia. Under Lancelot’s rule, the Kingdom of Logres suffers, resists, and awaits the return of its hero.
