Aidan wants to be a knight. But as the third-born son of a Knight of the Order of Britain, he's bound for the monastery. In the wake of the Roman departure from the British Isles in the 5th Century, just as the dark ages begin, he convinces his father to give him a chance: complete twelve tasks in a year to become a knight. To ensure these tasks are completed, a monk is assigned to join Aidan to document the boy’s efforts. Along the way these two will become close, as Aidan seeks to obtain his armor and weapon by means gallant and to rescue an innocent held against his or her will and to obtain a horse. These are the first three tasks set to Aidan on his coming of age epic journey. Aidan will prove to have more depth than just the pursuit of these tasks, for he is heroic in the face of dangers not imagined at the outset of his quest. His morality will be tested. His heart will be tested. And ultimately, the monk documenting Aidan’s journey will be setting upon the parchment the origins of the King Arthur legend. Page Up and Order Now.

The legend is born. The blessed blade, Caliburn, is in his hand. The fort from which he leads the north is under his control. There is but one hurdle remaining to seal his legend. But the final villain is cunning and terrifying, a man without morality, who burns everything in his path. To take him down, Aidan will require all his Trusted to support him… and he’ll need to place the most cherished people in his life in the gravest of dangers. As the third-born son of a Knight of the Order of Britain, in the wake of the Roman departure from the British Isles Aidan is set to complete twelve tasks in a year at his father’s behest. The monk’s document is thick with the birth of a nation. Aidan and the monk have formed a bond that cannot be broken, not in their own time nor in all the years to follow, as Aidan seeks to complete his final three tasks: form a base from which to command and clear the field of all enemies and slay a dragon. Aidan will prove to have more depth than just the pursuit of these tasks, for he is heroic in the face of dangers not imagined at the outset of his quest. His morality will be tested. His heart will be tested. And ultimately, the monk documenting Aidan’s journey will be setting upon the parchment the origins of the King Arthur legend. Page Up and Order Now.

The north is under siege. While Aidan has found his seat of power in Coccium, the Picti have invaded the north, taking control of Kirkham and Loncastre. Without enough men to force a frontal assault or lay siege, he will need to use his wits to win the day. As the third-born son of a Knight of the Order of Britain, in the wake of the Roman departure from the British Isles, he struggles to complete twelve tasks in a year to become a knight at his father’s behest. The monk documenting Aidan’s tasks is becoming formidable in his own right as he has become Aidan’s advisor. These two have become close, as Aidan seeks to form a strategic action against an imposing force and to grow his followers to more than 100 and to defend the decisions of his command. The stakes have escalated with these tasks laid before him. And perhaps the most difficult task is the ninth, as he must face his own internal demons to emerge from this epic coming of age journey as less than a boy seeking to become a knight, and more a knight seeking to defend his realm. Aidan will prove to have more depth than just the pursuit of these tasks, for he is heroic in the face of dangers not imagined at the outset of his quest. His morality will be tested. His heart will be tested. And ultimately, the monk documenting Aidan’s journey will be setting upon the parchment the origins of the King Arthur legend. Page Up and Order Now.

Coccium needs a hero. Aidan has completed his first three tasks and embarked on a mission to the north of Brigantes, where chaos reigns in the wake of the Roman departure from the British Isles. His journey has barely begun, as he seeks to complete twelve tasks in a year to become a knight at his father’s behest. To ensure these tasks are completed, the monk assigned to join Aidan continues to document the boy’s efforts. Along the way these two have become close, as Aidan seeks to gain five followers to his cause and to outfit his followers and to scout a force of more than 100. His decisions will put himself and his friends in danger, for the dark ages punish the unwary. And it will be in Coccium where he stakes his claim for these next three tasks. Aidan will prove to have more depth than just the pursuit of these tasks, for he is heroic in the face of dangers not imagined at the outset of his quest. His morality will be tested. His heart will be tested. And ultimately, the monk documenting Aidan’s journey will be setting upon the parchment the origins of the King Arthur legend. Page Up and Order Now.
