Now, in Fall of Knight, Arthur is forced to take a powerful position he never sought-head of his very own churcb…

When former first lady Gwen Devere Queen Penn is discovered to be hale and hearty-after falling victim to a successful (and very public) assassina-tion – the jig is finally up. Arthur Penn, aka King Arthur, reveals his true identity, and the existence of the Holy Grail, to the world.

Next thing be Knows, he's being worshiped as a divine being by a religious cult known as the Arthurians. Eluding these zealots is hard enough. But the Once and Future King finds it even more difficult to turn away from the sick and dying who desperately entreat him to heal them with the power of the Grail.

Not up to the enormity of the task, Arthur accepts an offer an entrepreneur with a new approach to health care: Siphon water through the Grail, bottle it, and sell it a curative. Flooding the market, Grail Ale becomes the hottest-selling commodity in the history of humanity. Unfortunately, it's also tainting the very purpose of the holy cup's existence-and Arthur may soon dis-cover exactly how the road to Hell is paved with good intentions…
