Set against the backdrop of Glastonbury Abbey in the twelfth century, two star-crossed lovers test the boundaries of love and find much more than they ever dreamed possible.

World-weary Sir Stephen Fitzhugh doesn't believe in the legends. If not for the lure of regaining his castle and lands taken by a deceitful earl, finding the Holy Grail would mean nothing to him. But the earl offers to return Stephen's estate in exchange for the fabled cup, so Stephen journeys to where it is rumored to be hidden—Glastonbury Abbey.

Aislinn of Amberlea is the late abbot's niece, and holds the key to the chalice mystery. Lovely and spirited, she believes the cup must remain at the Abbey. But will she be able to withstand the irresistible charm of the rogue knight who's come to find it?

The search for King Arthur and the Grail uncovers more than ancient legends. And they soon learn that danger and passion can lead to searing choices....
