The Sleeping Sword

The loss of his sight plunges Ben into a living death. Everything is dark, until he stumbles upon a sword whose incredible power could restore the light. One day, walking in a field, Bun trips and falls into a hidden cave. It turns out to be a tomb containing an ancient, beautiful sword and shield. As Bun grasps the sword, something miraculous happens… something that will draw him into the long-lost world of King Arthur and his knights, and reveal to Bun a quest of his own… This timeless, powerful story from a master storyteller is inspired by the ancient Excalibur legend.
