Sir Kendrick, veteran Knight of the Prince, has gained a new charge - the talented but reckless young Sir Duncan. The two are sent on a quest to investigate a dark order of knights known as the Conquistero. All clues lead them to Bel Lione and the castle of Lord Ra, where the best and brightest of Bel Lione’s young men and women have been lured away from their homes and into the service of the Dark Lord.

Sir Duncan’s impetuous nature and the love of a young woman lead him to risk the dangers of Lord Ra’s castle in order to rescue his lady love’s brother. The fact that he doesn’t return from the mission means that he is either dead or imprisoned by the Conquistero knights. Sir Kendrick must brave all to save his young charge and topple the dark knights. Help comes from a reclusive old warrior who holds not only the secrets to Lord Ra’s dungeons, but a secret which will try Sir Duncan’s faith itself.

Though this book is sure to find a ready audience in the Christian book market, that is not the only audience which will enjoy this tale of knights and quests and the battle of good against evil. As a non-Christian reader (I am Jewish and the wife of a rabbi) I found this story to be exhilarating. It is a masterfully written new tale in a classic story motif worthy of being in the same review space with C.S. Lewis.
