Naturally, Homan's return to the Death Valley sounds alarm bells all over the decrepit mining town and Virginia cannot believe that he is up to any good. To add to the mystery, there is also a slight possibility that Virginia's father did not die as she was led to believe. But what does Homan wants from her? Where is her father?

Appalled by the threat of modern technology, he sets out to thwart Bethany, only to find in her a kindred spirit-and a fellow Grail fanatic. Bethany soon joins Arthur in a quest to find the lost Book of Ewolda.
