The intrigue continues...and the danger! Having outwitted Sir Hugh in France, and taken back possession of the Grail, Tristan, Robard and Maryam arrive in Dover. Returning to the Abbey he grew up in, Tristan is devastated to find it burned to the ground. Only Brother Tuck remains alive and he has been hiding and living in the woods these past many months, hoping for Tristan's return. He gives Tristan three letters that will change his life forever. One from Henry II, Richard the Lionheart's father. One from Elinor of Aquitaine, Richard's mother. And one, from Brother Rupert, which will reveal once and for all Tristan s parentage, and his true destiny. Ages 10-14.
