King Arthur's Bones: A Historical Mystery

Glastonbury Abbey, 1191. During excavation work, an ancient leaden cross is discovered, buried several feet below ground. Inscribed upon it the words: hie iacet sepultus inclitus rex arturius ... here lies buried the renowned King Arthur. Beneath the cross are skeletal remains. Could this really be the legendary King Arthur and his queen, Guinevere?
As the monks debate the implications of this extraordinary discovery, the bones themselves disappear: spirited away by the mysterious Guardians, determined to protect King Arthur until the ancient legend is fulfilled, and he returns to defend his country in the hour of its greatest need.
A missing right hand. A gang of ruthless bodysnatchers. Brother accused of killing brother. As the secret of the bones' hiding place is passed from generation to generation, those entrusted to safeguard the king's remains must withstand treachery, theft, blackmail and murder in order to keep the legend intact.
