Art Williams Is An Unlikely HeroHe’s the son of the new American Ambassador to London. In his first 48 hours in London, Art makes an enemy of Princess Guinevere, the Queen’s teenage daughter, has a trio of banshees foretelling his doom, is stalked by a shape-shifting witch, and destroys the American Ambassador's residence. Long ago, the World of Men and the World of Magic were torn apart. Dark forces are at work to reunite the two worlds. They'll need the blood of an infant King to perform their demonic rite. Queen Caroline has a baby prince, the heir to her throne. The death of the Queen and the sacrifice of little Prince Gregory will make black magic the master of this world again. Or it could unravel time itself. With his classmates, the sons and daughters of diplomats from Australia, Canada, India, and China, Art Williams discovers they have a chance of saving the Royal Family, England, and the world. But first, they must gather the skills needed and make alliances with what little magic is left in this world. And they must lay claim to Excalibur, the Sword of Destiny.
