Legend tells that King Arthur lies sleeping in the magical land of Avalon, waiting to save Britain in her hour of need.  But he's dead and he's never coming.  So when danger threatens, there's only young Alex Penraig, the Midwinter Child.

On his thirteenth birthday, with Britain freezing under deep snow, Alex receives an extraordinary gift from his mysterious archaeologist godfather - the sword of King Arthur, Excalibur.

But this gift puts Alex and his family in terrible danger.  His parents vanish, and he's alone and defenceless when the sinister Watcher who has been following him comes after the sword.  With no electricity or phones and the roads blocked by snow,  Alex and his best friend flee in a desperate effort to find his godfather, save his parents and unravel the mystery of the sword.

In his quest to save his parents Alex must first find the entrance to the legendary Avalon and then the power within himself to open the door.  The revelation of long hidden secrets and the discovery that the sword has awoken within him something strange and powerful, will lead to him realising his own destiny.  A destiny that has been foretold since the time of Arthur himself.

The consequences of failure will be catastrophic, not just for Alex and his parents, but for all mankind, because the Watcher isn't the only thing he has to be afraid of.  Something ancient and evil is out there waiting for him in the dark.

THE MIDWINTER CHILD, in 77,000 words, is the first of four books for Older Children about Alex's adventures as the heir to King Arthur and the bearer of the sword Excalibur.
