"I need a quest!" complains the young King Arthur. "A knight has more fun than a king." Despite the best counsel of his wizard Merlin, Arthur's rash youthfulness leads him away from his duties and into wild adventures pursuing the Questing Beast, near fatal combat with Pellinore, the fiercest warrior in Britain, and finally to the enchanted realm of Avalon. Ruled by the beautiful and mysterious Lady of the Lake, she offers Arthur her most prized possession, the magical sword Excalibur. By accepting this symbol of his great fate in a state of humility he also achieves the true goal of his long journey: manhood.

Though Arthur was the greatest king that Britain had ever known, Lancelot was the Round Table's greatest knight.

After his arrival at Camelot, Lancelot goes forth to prove himself worthy of the honor bestowed upon him as the queen's champion. Defeating giants, slaying dragons and rescuing damsels in distress are all in a day's work for the dynamic, young warrior. But the passion that drives him to great deeds eventually drives him mad when he discovers the truth of his own heart's desire. Only love could wound him so deeply, but only love can heal him.
