In this setting we meet Squire Rosalyn Taunton-Savant, struggling to find acceptance amidst jealousy and fierce rivalry. Her life and the lives of everyone around her are thrown into chaos when an ancient enemy, the Sorceress Morgana le Fay, unleashes a devastating attack on Camelot. Reeling from the assault, Ros and her friends (some from unexpected quarters) are sent on a desperate mission; To find and bring back the wizard Merlin, Master Magician of the Court of Camelot from his internment in the Crystal Cave on the fabled island of Avalon. With the enemy hot on their heels, and an armoury of high tech weapons at their disposal, the young squires race to complete their quest before le Fay can destroy Camelot.

A Military Science-Fantasy Novel; Camelot 2050: Black Knight takes the ideals of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and brings them forward through an alternate history into a time of power-assisted armoured Knights on cybernetic horseback.
