The Romans have long since departed, and Britain is steadily declining into ruin. But, at least, the wars that once ravaged the country have ceased. Axl and Beatrice, a couple of elderly Britons, decide that now is the time, finally, for them to set off across this troubled land of mist and rain to find the son they have not seen for years, the son they can scarcely remember. They know they will face many hazards--some strange and otherworldly--but they cannot foresee how their journey will reveal to them the dark and forgotten corners of their love for each other. Nor can they foresee that they will be joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and a knight each of them, like Axl and Beatrice, lost in some way to his own past, but drawn inexorably toward the comfort, and the burden, of the fullness of a life's memories.

"Inglaterra, Edad Media. Dos ancianos parten en busca de su hijo. Este se marcho hace mucho, aunque en circunstancias que no recuerdan, porque han perdido buena parte de la memoria debido a lo que los habitantes de su region llaman ±la niebla¿. En su periplo se encontraran con un guerrero sajon llamado Wistan, un joven herido y el anciano caballero Sir Gawain, que busca acabar con un dragon. Juntos se enfrentaran a los multiples peligros del viaje. Pero cada uno de ellos lleva consigo secretos, culpas, y, en algun caso, una mision atroz que cumplir."--Amazon.com.
