He was doomed to a life of hopelessness and despair.
Then the stranger arrived...
For Cedric of Chessington, every day is the same: full of poverty and
despair. And he knows that will never change.
Or so he thinks.
Then a stranger comes to the city. Drawn to the man's mysterious ways,
Cedric discovers the stranger's humility belies great strength and
wisdom. That's when an astounding truth becomes clear--the stranger is a
Master of the Sword, and He is there to train Cedric.
Suddenly propelled into a desperate battle against evil, Cedric must
rely on the Master's training if he is going to survive. But the
ultimate battle is yet to come, for the Dark Knight is at work,
implementing his plan to take over the kingdom. Will Cedric be ready to
stand in the face of pure evil?
Journey to Arrethtrae, where the King and His Son implement a bold plan
to save their kingdom; where courage, faith, and loyalty stand tall in
the face of opposition; where good will not bow to evil; and where hope
and compassion are as powerful weapons as the sword.

Story Behind the Book
"When my six kids' eyes glossed over during a reading from the Bible, I
paused to explain the significance of redemption to a sin-sick soul. I
was rewarded with patronizing elephant nods and more blank stares.
Shortly thereafter, I awoke in the middle of the night with a medieval
story enveloping my mind. I wrote it down and later read it to my
children. Their waning attention transformed into complete anticipation.
I was amazed and disappointed. Why did it take a fictional story, not a
Bible passage, to get that response? Then I realized--that is how Jesus
taught! Parables are powerful! I penned the Kingdom series to help young
people get excited about the supremely significant story of Jesus Christ
and His mission to save mankind."
