Excalibur
The prophecy branded on the legendary sword, Excalibur, speaks of the one who has been chosen to wield it. Artorigas ‘Art’ Langley is not that person – but try telling him that.
As Art tries again and again to remove the sword from its stone, failing on each occasion, his cheery demeanour gives way to self-doubt. When danger descends, Art must decide whether he is going to let his conviction burn to ash – or, instead, take fate into his own hands and prove the prophecy wrong.
