​Sword Striker
 
by  Elizabeth D'Onofrio​

Old King Roderick thought he was solving a problem when he divided the kingdom of Khryterdon between his grandsons.  Years later, King Durwin is determined to keep the whole realm for himself.  But he fails to reckon on the determination of his 15-year-old cousin Brant to control his own life. Lord Brant's escape from the palace takes him far afield from his original plan.  For his own safety he assumes the identity of a peasant.  Around the kingdom other peasants are rising up to oppose King Durwin's suppression of justice.  It is a time of rebellion where battles, both inward and outward, must be waged, where courage and self-control must be found.  Loyalty and prejudice pull Brant in different directions.  He is forced to decide if he is fighting for Khryterdon as blacksmith or nobleman.  His choices will balance the kingdom on the cusp of a new age: one of wholeness or woe. 

Travel back to an age of swords and chivalry in this adventure of freedom, friendship and the power of forgiveness.

​When Lord Brant and Lady Adalia encounter a woodsman along a remote peak of the Mheyphainian range, he grants them the safe hospitality of his mountain home.  The heart of a bard beats inside the woodsman’s weathered frame, and the tale he thrills to tell is Khryterdon’s most beloved legend.  The tale is preserved in its entirety as Charm of the Gloaming.

Charm of the Gloaming

​

​In an age when the glow of magic has begun to dim, when memory fades into lore, from the mists will rise a legend.  Every land has its legendary hero.  Khryterdon has Gwynnan, the Champion of High King Khrytrec. Gwynnan earned his acclaim battling trolls and beasts; he won his princess by battling a dragon.  But dark powers and weakness of heart will ever challenge the hero who tries to light the fire of the new age.
