Aurelian is preparing to gamble everything on one last battle. So when a holy man, the Doctor, comes to Varuz from beyond the mountains, he asks for the Doctor's blessing in the war. But all is not what it seems. The city-guard have lasers for swords and the halls are lit by electric candlelight. Aurelian's beloved wife and his most trusted knight seem to be plotting to overthrow their Duke, and Clara finds herself drawn into their intrigue ... Will the Doctor stop Aurelian from going to war? Will Clara's involvement in the plot against the Duke be discovered? And who are the ancient and weary knights who arrive in Varuz claiming to be on a quest for the Holy Grail?
