A Medieval Fantasy Novel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A courageous squire. Life in a castle. And a dangerous secret.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To make it worse, the skirmishes seem shrouded with mysterious circumstances, adding to the horrors of the frontlines.<\/p>\n

As he nears knighthood, Jonathan lives with the uncertainty of secrets and battle woes, while struggling to follow the call of his heart\u2014all as he serves valiantly as Sir Grant’s trusted squire. Will he find a way to protect all who are dear to him? If things don\u2019t change, the people of Consany, from the town to the castle, could face a dark and uncertain future.<\/p>\n
