BOOK ONE:
In 1469 the poet Malory wrote "Some men say that Arthur is not dead and he will come again." So where is he? What is he waiting for? And what will happen when myth becomes reality? Nine hundred years ago as Britain descended in the Dark ages, a legend was born. Storytellers spoke of a sword pulled from a stone, a powerful magician, questing knights, and a mighty king who did not die. But if the stories are true, where is the evidence? Where are the ruins of Camelot? Where is the record of Arthur in the lineage of English kings? Was the story of Arthur no more than a fairy tale, or is there another explanation?
In Book One of the Excalibur Rising series, a renowned historian claims to have found the sword Excalibur but is murdered before he can disclose the location.
A woman with violet eyes dreams of a document in an unknown language.
A treasure hunter walks through a misty gateway and enters another world.
A one-eyed man kills his enemies with an ancient jeweled dagger.
And an American millionaire will not rest until he has Excalibur in his treasure vault.
Death follows at the heels of the treasure hunters as they struggle to translate the ancient document and discover the source of the legend. Powerful forces are at work. Arthur must end his long sleep. After 900 years ... Excalibur is Rising.

MEET THE TREASURE HUNTERS
VIOLET CHAMBRAY:
She lives by her wits and her psychic gifts. As an abandoned child in a French convent she discovered that she could know the origin of any object just by holding it in her hand.
Now her visions will show her a one-eyed man and a deceitful queen, and lead her to the woman who gave her life.
PROFESSOR MARCUS RYAN:
His television show has failed, his wife has left him, and he is reduced to hunting down treasures for a Vegas gangster.
When his former professor claims to have found Excalibur, Ryan cannot believe him but when his boss demands that the sword be located and placed in the treasure vault Ryan must set his pride aside and work alongside Violet the psychic.
If there is one thing that Ryan cannot abide it is psychics and frauds.
MICHAEL MANDRETTI:
He owns the Mandretti Resort Hotel and he employs Marcus Ryan to find and authenticate treasures for his private collection.
He plans to make Excalibur the centerpiece of his Las Vegas empire.
Violet Chambray once helped Mandretti's brother to find a lost object and now Mandretti insists that Ryan must work with the psychic whether he wants to or not.
ELAINE:
Where does she come from? How does she know so much?
She forms a passion for Ryan and takes an instant dislike to Violet.
Did she steal the Griffinwood Document?
Does she know the identity of Violet's mother?
TODD CHAMBRAY:
He's Violet's brother.
His acting career is going nowhere.
He hates violence.
He's never been in a fight.
It will take every ounce of courage to rescue his sister from the trouble she is in.
On the other hand, he does like flying first class.

THE ONE EYED MAN:
He kills without hesitation.
His weapons are ancient, a jeweled dagger, and poisoned wine in a silver chalice.
He walks in the moonlight along the banks of the Thames and children run from him in fear.

TOBY THE CAT:
He sits among the funeral dishes of his murdered master with eyes full of mystery and a soul full of knowledge of other worlds. |
