The hero Parsival finds himself thrown back into a world of bloody fights, turmoil and war.
Amidst all this destruction, he and many others continue their search for the illusive myth of the Grail for its magical and holy powers, which will turn the tide of war.
In this second installment of Richard Monaco’s expertly written series, Parsival must do battle with the evil Clinschor, who ultimately threatens destruction and terror for the world.
Will Parsival succeed on his quest to defeat this formidable enemy to all mankind?
And will the war – and the Grail – slip further from his grasp?
Richard Monaco provides a fascinating interpretation of one of the oldest legends in English history. Set in the early medieval period, following the Arthurian tales, Monaco’s fantasy world is deeply rich and gripping.
The Grail War is a thrilling fantasy epic told in the high tradition of Arthurian literature. It is the second book in the Saga of Parsival series.
