Seth Roberts is a typical teenager, that is, until his mother sends him to St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, to visit his Great Uncle Herman. In St. John’s, Seth discovers that Herman is a wizard, in fact, the son of Merlin himself. Soon, Herman asks Seth if he would like to go on an adventure and he quickly agrees. With the help of a strange medallion, Herman sends Seth back in time to the year 1128 A.D. to Cambria, a village founded by Tristan, one of the Knights of Author’s Round Table. In Cambria, he discovers his true potential, family secrets, and love. Seth soon finds himself on the adventure of a lifetime as he races to save Briana, the queen of Cambia, and Cambria itself.

"What's going on?" Seth asked, setting one of the glasses in front of his uncle. Then, he sat down on the seat across from him with the other glass of tea, but was too nervous to drink it. 


Herman looked into his eyes and asked reluctantly, "How much time do you have until school is out, Seth?"


"A week. Why?" Seth asked, wishing that his uncle would just get to the point already. 


"That's good," Herman said, taking a deep breath. "You won't be missing a lot of school, then."


"What's going on, Herman?" Seth asked, quickly losing his patience. 


"That's Uncle Herman to you," Herman warned, his eyebrows pulling together. He took a long sip of the tea then set it down. "Seth ... it's your father." 


Seth took a deep breath, bracing himself, then asked, "Is he dead?"


"No, boy," Herman replied, but his grey eyes were filled with concern. "He's alive."
