Trist's older brother, Percy, was better than him at almost everything—except for swordplay. Percy was their father's heir, and Trist was perfectly content with his future as a Knight of Narvonne, supporting his brother and protecting their family's land.

Trading those souls grants Trist power, and he'll need it. Three hundred years ago, an ancient evil nearly destroyed humanity in a cataclysm.

Vinterkongen fortæller historien om England i 400-tallet, og i særdeleshed historien om den legendariske Kong Arthur og hans kamp for at forene de britiske kongedømmer. Historiens fortæller er en ung mand, Derfel, som den store druide Merlin har taget under sine vinger. Da historien tager sin begyndelse, dør kong Uther af alderdom. Uther har ingen direkte arving, men hans afdøde søn har efterladt sig en gravid hustru, som til alles glæde sætter et drengebarn i verden, Mordred. En kommende konge! Men den spæde dreng har mange fjender, som gør, hvad de kan, for at sætte ham ud af spillet.

Centraal staat de botsing tussen religies in Engeland aan het einde van de 5de eeuw. Heidenen en Christenen staan met getrokken wapens tegenover elkaar, maar ook de godin Isis speelt nog een rol. Arthurs wijze raadgever, Merlijn, is dan weer op jacht naar de laatste mystieke schat van Engeland: de Ketel van Clyddno Eiddyn… oftewel de Heilige Graal.

Arthur probeert, met een idealisme dat tegen het naïeve aanschurkt, alle stammen van het land te verdedigen tegen de Saksen. Met de tovenaar Merlijn aan zijn zijde maakt hij misschien een kans om het recht te doen zegevieren… maar vergist hij zich niet in de rol van de magiër? Het Engeland van de 6de eeuw is één grote chaos.

Best friends Ellie Bettlebump and Caedmon Tuggle are different as the day is long. Caedmon’s a human, from a non-magical realm known as Wisconsin.
