About the Book

The beauty of Camelot, the hope of King Arthur and his Knights, the wonder of the Round Table, and the magic of Merlin are just what is needed in a world that has precious few heroes and even less gallantry.  Along with my first book, Rexcalibur: The Magic Returns, I now give you Eternity’s Hope to encourage the development of inner character and the compassionate evolution of the human spirit—and so the adventure continues.

If you search for a hero or heroine, look no further.  If you await another tale of high adventure complete with mystical visions, wizardry and sorcery, you’ve found the right read.  If you dream of being transported into the world of armored Knights, the fair damsels that turn their heads, Kingdom festivities and celebrations that encourage the spirit and warm the heart, and the universal struggle between good and evil, I will captivate you with the drama, suspense, lessons and romance of Eternity’s Hope.  If you fell in love with King Stefan, Joshua, Rexcalibur and the Knights in Rexcalibur: The Magic Returns, you’ll want to continue to follow their shared adventures.  If this is your first Kleidon experience with the magical world of King Arthur, it won’t be long before you’ll want to read what came before and what you can expect from the next book in the series.  

The story opens with Prince Nirron, successor to the crown, mourning the great loss of his father, Stalaran’s King.  The readers witness the gruesome beheading of Charles, a pitiful manservant ordered by the Dark Army to murder the King.  In an attempt to bring death and devastation to its land and attract the attention of James—the King’s son and first Knight of the Round Table, Tierok, the merciless leader of the Dark Army, begins his reign of terror.  Through a magical messenger of his own, Nirron sends the pure white dove of hope to his brother James in Camelot, requesting relief from the monstrous Dark Army who rape and pillage, bringing unbearable suffering to the people of Stalaran.  

Meanwhile, Camelot is rising with renewed strength.  The land prospers and the Knights are enjoying a respite from their constant vigil of protecting and defending, but not so with King Stefan.  He continues to be plagued by bloody visions and heart-wrenching dreams of death and destruction in a foreign land, or could it be a future world?  Then the dove arrives from Stalaran to whisper her message to James.  Unable to contain his grief and wait for the support of his fellow Knights, James heads to Stalaran first to fight beside Nirron and defend his homeland.  

Although James has been warned he faces unparalleled evil beings and untold sorcery on the road to Stalaran, he will not be left to face it alone.  Not only does he meet the beautiful Saraina who was sent by The Ancient One to protect him, but King Stefan and the Knights are also quick on his heels.  Together they forage through the thickened forests and over the high mountain ranges that surround Stalaran.  The terrain is not their worry, though, but rather, it is the horrors and mystical creatures lurking within the denseness of the huge oak trees, the doubts within the minds of the Knights, and the nightmarish visions of James and King Stefan which foster worry and weakness in the hearts of these heroes.

Although Saraina could not share her knowledge with James, she knew him well by sight and by what the ladies of Camelot had told her—the ladies she was training to be female Knights of Camelot.  Like the twelve Knights of the Round Table lead by King Stefan, their twelve lady counterparts were lead by Queen Julia to fight for right, to protect Camelot and defend the honor of those who lived there.  Their physical presence is somewhat less than the male Knights, but their loyalty, character and sisterhood are equally


About the Author

Proven by the success of such movies as Merlin, Excalibur and Highlander Series, the human spirit of people today cry out for true and pure heroes.  One who can follow their hearts with magical results.  While there have been countless books that weave their stories in and out of King Arthur, none (as far as my research has led me) attempted a sequel of the Knights of the Round Table.  I have read many books, seen the movies and researched the internet, but still I have failed to come across such a story.  Yes all the books are wonderful, I have loved them all and am sure I have missed some, but believe mine is unique in its own right.       Come on in, meet Rex, meet the new knights, share their dreams and sorrow.  Once more believe in the magic of a legend thought to have perished. This first book will spark the imagination, leaving it hungry for more.  I have given birth to a new kingdom.  I have nurtured them, loved them, watched them grow.  Now I wish for you, the readers to adopt them.  Share their lives and soon you will find yourselves loving them as much as I do.
