Book III of Everworld, told from April's point of view.
So we have Vikings...Norse Gods...giant wolves...heart-eating Aztecs...why not add the Knights of King Arthur's Round Table?? This book introduces us to some of the more "human" members of Everworld. We learn more about Merlin, Galahad, Gawain, and the other grail-seeking Knights.
When Battle approaches over Senna, April, Jalil, David and Christopher have to decide if they want to fight, and if so, who they are fighting for. Even though Merlin might technically be more human than Loki or Big H, he can be just as dangerous.
This book a bit slower than the previous book for me, mainly because Land of Loss was so graphic and horrific. But it's still an excellent installment in the Everworld series. Another reason I liked it is because the Arthurian legends are very near and dear to my heart. I love them. I love stories of the Holy Grail, Galahad, and Camelot. So naturally, I love stories about Merlin.
Another thing I liked about this book is that is starts to define what direction the series is taking. Senna is obviously a very mysterious piece of the puzzle, and seeing her through each David's, Christopher's, and now April's eyes helps us to define where she fits in.
The covers and inside illustrations are also really awesome in this series. Now that I'm re-reading, I'm finding that I've forgotten most of the details from 10 years ago, but I remember the covers!
