Synopsis

After barely escaping Sir Hugh’s clutches once again, Tristan and his companions have finally reached the shores of England with the Holy Grail. But even as their quest nears its completion, treachery and destruction have beaten them home. Tristan’s beloved abbey has been destroyed, and Robard’s home in Sherwood Forest has fallen to poverty under the harsh rule of the Sheriff of Nottingham.

As they make their way through the English countryside on the final leg of their perilous journey, the three friends must not only fight side by side but also support each other through immeasurable tragedy. With the trio’s list of enemies growing by the day, Tristan must constantly stay one step ahead of evil, a task that proves more difficult the closer he comes to fulfilling his duty.
