Written in the style of a medieval dream vision, The Glory of Kings invites its reader to go on an intellectual and spiritual quest which ranges from Cumberland Island on the Georgia coast to Munsalvaesche, the mystical Grail Castle of Arthurian legend. A diverse array of characters from history and literature emerges throughout the story to confront or guide those who undertake this quest. William Blake, Johannes Faust, Julian of Norwich, and many others all contribute to the philosophical dialogue of a perilous adventure whose ultimate goal is to penetrate to the heart of Christianity and behold the face of God.
