Hilary and her friend Veronica are off to vacation in Glastonbury, the famed, sacred site where it is believed King Arthur and Guinevere were buried, where the Isle of Avalon existed, where ancient Celtic Churches were founded and where danger lurks for our two main characters.

Hilary and her friend Veronica are off to vacation in Glastonbury, the famed, sacred site where it is believed King Arthur and Guinevere were buried, where the Isle of Avalon existed, where ancient Celtic Churches were founded and where danger lurks for our two main characters. A place like Glastonbury is a place that attracts not only sincere, curious, educated and sincere tourists but also some people who can best be described as "strange.

Very early on they find the religious site of the "Glastonbury Thorn" vandalised and a suspicious object at another - the Chalice well.
