Stories of the knights who gathered around Arthur's great table and their adventures in the wide worldAround the round table there was always one seat which remained empty, a place left for the one who would one day attain the grail and redeem and restore the land. It was known as the Seat Perilous, and anyone who sat there undeservedly would be consumed by fire. These are the untold stories of the knights who went out into the world to prove themselves worthy. This book follows them on their journeys into a mysterious and unknown interior where they meet submerged maidens and shapeshifting hags, and discover what it is women most desire. Finally they return to find who has earned the right to sit in the Seat Perilous and go on the final quest—the greatest adventure of all.
