Synopsis

The bestselling author of the acclaimed Merlin Trilogy returns to the magical world of King Arthur and Camelot—to tell a story of daring adventure, unexpected love, and unsurpassed enchantment.Eager, burning, and young, Alexander has come of age to take vengeance on the treacherous King of Cornwall who murdered his father. He sets off toward Camelot to seek justice from King Arthur, only to be diverted by the beautiful and sensual Morgan le Fay, Arthur’s sister. Using her wiles and her enchantments, Morgan persuades the young prince to attempt a theft of the Holy Grail. He is unaware her motives are of the darkest nature.Motherless daughter of a royal duke, Alice has lived a life of lively adventure, accompanying her father on his yearly pilgrimages. Now, on her father’s final visit to Jerusalem, she comes under the protection of a young prince whose brothers were murdered, a prince who is in possession of an enchanted silver cup believed to be the mysterious Holy Grail itself.Thus the stage is set for two young seekers to meet—and to find not what they are searching for but, instead, the greatest treasure of all: love.

Goodreads review by Sotiris on February 11, 2018

A book that belongs to the circle of the books of Mary Stewart that is centered on the story of King Arthur and refers to one of the stories of this legend.

Goodreads review by Nicky on May 25, 2017

Although this fits into the Arthurian world constructed by Stewart in The Crystal Cave and the books that followed it, The Prince and the Pilgrim is really a separate story which has perhaps more in common with her romances.
