   Summary

   When a sickness sweeps through Camelot, Prince Arthur is tasked with finding the one person powerful enough to stop its spread: The Warlock of the Tower. However, neither the famed warlock nor the mysterious tower are quite as they seem, and Arthur finds himself trapped, with death behind every door.

   Can he survive the tower's trials? Will the warlock turn out to be the villain his father warned him of, or the saviour that Gaius had promised? Who is the strange man who keeps appearing whenever Arthur needs sanctuary? Can Arthur save himself and his people, or is Camelot doomed?
