Set in modern and medieval times, The Forever King tells of the return of King Arthur - as a ten year-old - and of his greatest enemy, Saladin, a powerful, almost immortal sorcerer, who wants to wrest the Holy Grail from the boy. Arthur's protectors are a time-weakened Merlin and Hal Woczniak, a washed-up ex-FBI agent whose buried nobility is awakened by the power of the High King. Somehow this ill-assorted trio must defeat Saladin and claim Arthur's rightful place in the modern world.
