The Lost

Reports of Mordred's intentions to wage war against Arthur have reached Camelot, so the king has sent Sir Valiant to lead a small group in investigating the matter. The prince is completely dedicated to conducting himself properly on his first important mission as a knight (much to his friends' displeasure). So when Dennis is seriously injured while under his protection, Valiant throws caution to the wind in his efforts to save his young squire. This leads to some dangerous confrontations with two familiar faces and an unruly army of mercenaries.

The Beggar

Valiant's knighthood and recent exploits commanding an army have given him such a swollen ego that he is neglecting his share of the work at the Castle Keep. A special invitation to the Duke Griswald's wedding further raises his opinion of himself. But the adulation Valiant has grown used to hearing turns to scorn after a robbery makes him appear to be a beggar. His quest for aid leads to a lesson in humility from a stranger with an interesting history.

And then there is the mystery of the unknown flute player whose sad melody haunts the castle...

The Hinge of Fate

The battle with Mordred's forces is fast approaching and things do not look good for our heroes. Aleta and her army could offer Camelot the support it currently lacks from its people, but only if Lord Maldon does not act on his suspicions of the Queen of the Misty Isles. Meanwhile, Allen returns to the Chapel of the Sword and the Stone and uncovers far more than he was sent to find. Could his discovery save the New Order from oblivion, or are Valiant, Arn, Rowanne, and their army doomed to be crushed by Mordred's superior numbers?
