A novel of fantasy and magic set at Allhallows, a residential school located in the English countryside in the shadow of Glastonbury Tor. Considered a classic in its genre. This book was originally intended as a non-fiction work based on Ashe's expertise on Arthurian legend but emerged instead as his only work of fiction.
