the Acquisition of Swords

"In the hour of Britain's greatest need, we shall return," Merlin told his old pupil, the grizzled King Arthur's face full of sorrow. He had a meeting to get to with Morgana and the Lord of Camelot had a date with destiny that could not be missed.

Thousands of years have passed since the battle against Mordred's armies and the seasons of change have not been kind, as life on Earth struggles to recover from an apocalyptic event and the nuclear winter that followed.

The Phoenix, the woman responsible for bringing Mankind to the brink of extinction and thought to have perished in the rebellion a millennium before, has risen from her ashes and threatens the world once more. The drums of war have begun to beat, the hordes are moving south, and all that stands between the free races and oblivion is a quirky wizard and his unlikely band of heroes.

Merlin must move quickly if he hopes to unite the segregated races of the land against the Phoenix's armies, for if he fails, he'll be forced to watch helplessly as her flames burn them to ash one at a time. He needs a symbol, a weapon the Elven King can wield that will bring the races together under one banner, to bring forth the light and push back the oncoming darkness; Excalibur. He must find the hidden location of Nimue's lake and return the Sword of Kings to the land of men, all the while dodging the attacks of the Phoenix's assassins hellbent on stopping them, or all may be forever lost.

For only Excalibur can destroy the Book of the Dead and end the Phoenix's reign once and for all.
