Son of a knight and aspirant to the Round Table, Alymere yearns to take his place in the world, and for a quest to prove his worth. He comes across the foul Devil's Bible - said to have been written in one night by an insane hermit - which leads and drives him, by turns, to seek the unholy Black Chalice. On his quest he will face, and overcome, dire obstacles and cunning enemies, becoming a knight of renown; but the ultimate threat is to his very soul.

REVIEWS

"Savile's prose is lovely, the story thoughtful, gripping, and even charming..."

– Charles de Lint

" The Black Chalice is a finely-wrought Gothic novel that adheres to the standards of Malory's tales, while at the same time satisfying a modern reader's expectations and sensibilities. I whole-heartedly recommend it."

– RedBook Review

"The result is a fresh supply of the highest of high fantasy - noble knights venturing forth against unsavoury evil (historical accuracy need not apply)."

– Pornokitsch
