Honor Bound, Honor Found and Honor Crowned all in one book. This is the tale of Jorem, the fifth son of the king. An awkward and clumsy boy befriended by an aging wizard, Jorem learns much of the world as it is and as it was. Although the prince has no magical powers of his own, he finds in the wizard a friend and a mentor. His fondest wish is to join his brothers on the field of battle with honor and might. But all is not as it seems and life has a way of revealing the truth. Jorem must choose his own path and find his own way in an unfamiliar world. Standing alone and doing what is right could cost him all of the comforts of royal life. But by following his heart and the wisdom of his friend, a young boy just might be able to save a kingdom. After his debt is paid the young prince is unsure what to do until opportunity presents itself. Changing both his appearance and his name Jorem goes in search of a new life. The chance to learn from one of the fiercest fighters ever known is not something to be taken lightly. Surely his training in sword work would give him an edge (good pun, right). So how does he end up flat on his back with a sword to his throat? Can he learn to be a true warrior from a teacher with no patience and anger management issues? The coming war brings many changes to the kingdom, most of them bad. By ordered of the king Jorem must lead men on a mission aimed more to keep him out of the way than to accomplish anything. He must earn the trust of a people who have lost all at the order of his father, a people who still think of him as the spare. When he finds himself faced with an enemy force out of his deepest nightmares, Prince Jorem will have to rely on the help of some unlikely heroes. Betrayal and deceit are just a few of the challenges coming his way. With the help of friends both new and old Jorem will have to find a way to overcome not only the enemies secret army but the uncertainties and insecurities that come with a boy newly become a man.

"Once upon a time there was a king in the land of Baldwin. The king was tending to his vegetable garden when, one day, one of his priests was beginning to act suspicious. He was using a forbidden spell to bring forth a dragon." And so begins this imaginative tale of wizards, magic spells and dragons written and illustrated by a disabled young adult.
