John Taylor works as a private investigator in the Nightside, London's hidden supernatural district. His talent lies in locating missing objects and people. Now he possesses something he never sought: Excalibur, the mythical blade of King Arthur. The sword brings power and peril in equal measure. To understand his connection to this legendary weapon, John must seek answers from the Last Defenders of Camelot. These knights have made their home in London Proper, a place that unnerves even someone accustomed to the Nightside's dangers. John has avoided returning to London Proper for years, and those reasons still hold weight. Yet the mystery of Excalibur compels him forward. The sword chose him for purposes unknown, and only the surviving guardians of Camelot's legacy might explain why.
