GUARDIAN OF THE TRUST

No, not an alert lawyer defending a client's funds against corporate raiders, but the second installment (following Guardian of the Balance, not seen) of a progeny-of-Arthur-and-Merlin series. In 13th-century England, Radburn Blakely, King John's demon-descended half-brother, pits his smarts against Resmiranda Griffin, shapely scion of both Merlin and the Pendragons. Always scope for a new variant: such is the enduring power of the Arthurian milieu.
