The Holy Grail is found! Sir Patrick, the Irish knight who brought the cup to Greensprings on the Isle of Avalon, never intended for it to stay there. He had only wished to save his love from the clutches of death with its miraculous abilities. Now, Roman Church officials, politically ambitious nobility, and ancient supernatural creatures fight to lay claim to it. In the resulting battle, it is not enough to be strong-one must also be ruthless. To live with the consequences of his act, Sir Patrick assumes the burden of leadership to protect his comrades and the woman he loves. But in his struggles to set matters aright, he risks losing that love forever. Patrick must grow stronger in body and soul to keep the chalice out of the wrong hands, and to keep his world intact.

Patrick Gawain knows monsters. He's seen plenty of the human sort in the Holy Lands, and as he sails home from The First Crusade, a hooded apparition begins to stalk him. Convinced that he's lost his mind, he holes up in a monastery to convalesce and, if recovery proves impossible, to hide his demons from the world. But a stranger comes to find him and presents a barely credible invitation: travel to Avalon and serve with the Avangarde, an order of knights sworn to protect young scholars from around the world. Thinking it will be a fresh start, Patrick agrees, and soon discovers that Avalon is more than a myth; it is the site of a vibrant secret academy - and it's also full of ghosts, goblins, and talking wolves. He can capably protect the castle from the island's supernatural beasts, but in the relative peace of the academy life, his hooded demon returns and his troubled heart causes him to sabotage the love of a young woman, Katherina. When an ancient being with sinister designs for the island infiltrates the academy, Patrick is the first to suspect its true nature when it begins its quest by seducing Katherina. Patrick soon learns that before he can defeat monsters, he must first defeat his personal demons.
