Ланселот, воин без страха и упрека, прибыл в золотой замок Камелот, чтобы служить великому королю Артуру. Им предстоят грозные сражения, доблесть и слава. Но в Камелоте он находит женщину, без которой не может жить, но которой не в силах обладать — прекрасную Гуиневеру Лионесскую. Она — возлюбленная короля Артура, который защищает ее маленькое королевство от войск черного рыцаря Малаганта. И Первый Рыцарь Ланселот должен сделать выбор — служить своему королю, или предать его во имя любимой…
Экскалибур — это меч легендарного короля Артура, воспетого трубадурами и менестрелями, правившего Англией в те славные времена, когда достойные рыцари восседали на своих местах за Круглым столом, поднимая чаши за здравие Его Величества и окончательную победу над злом. В той древности люди больше полагались на предсказания магов и наговоры колдунов, меньше веря в силу разума и своего опыта. Однако именно тогда заклинания и пророчества уступили свое место тому, что мы называем здравым смыслом…
