Reseña del libro "Necklace of Death"
Quest for the One Perfect Diamond: Many centuries ago, King Arthur sent forth his knights to find the one perfect diamond as a gift for his queen. Sir Grenvell succeeded. He found the diamond embedded as the eye of a stone idol called Orac. Drumgargs, evil, black-robed priests who worshipped Orac, attacked Sir Grenvell. He killed them and took the diamond. A dying priest whispered a curse: "She who wears the idol's eye will surely wither, age and die." King Arthur ordered a golden necklace crafted to display the diamond. When the queen first wore the necklace, the curse proved true. She quickly grew old and collapsed, overturning a lamp and starting a raging fire. Alfie, the court jester, rescued the necklace and escaped through a concealed door into the Underworld.Fast-forward 1000 years: While on a tour of King Arthur's castle, three children - Lucas, Claira and Andy - find a hidden door and unwisely enter.
