Sam Gordon is followed by someone dressed like a wizard. He figures the guy to be another San Francisco lunatic until the man meets Sam at his favorite café carrying on about time continuum portals. Assured of the man's insanity, Sam escapes out the back door, which drops him into a strange place.

In a land of green grass and no automobiles, Sam cannot find the door back to the café. He questions his sanity and sets out to find someone who can give him directions. When he is attacked by a swordsman on horseback, a beautiful young woman named Margot, intervenes. She speaks an archaic dialect of Anglo-Saxon — a language Sam didn't know until that moment. Sam travels with them to Camelot and finds himself in King Arthur's court. Working as a blacksmith and studying the druidic arts under Merlin's tutelage, Sam learns he must complete an unknown task before a portal can open to his own place and time.

“She is safe so long as she stays hidden,” Nimue assured. “Morgan will sense us for our magic and track us.”


“She won’t have to. She’ll know why we’re here and probably go straight to the druid. The witch may even have a more direct route. We need to hurry,”


Nimue nodded. “You go on and free, Merlin. I will distract Morgan.”


“But…” I began, yet she had already turned and, taking three strides, dissolved into mist. The fog that was Nimue sped away and evaporated before rounding the first bend in the passage.
