I heard so much about this book and from the first word or
sentence I was hooked as a reader, it had the excitement and suspense etched in
the first paragraph about the dark knight and what he was about to face, his
worst nightmare. But first he had to go
over the obstacles that stood in his way.
He is apprehensive but courageous, not letting fear stand in the way and
the author had him jumping from column to column to conclude at a mysterious
platform with stairs leading up to where? He gathers his wits and ignores his
gashes from the journey he travelled to arrive at his destiny and claimed his
prize, the valuable Sword of Truth, ready, easy pickings yet there is someone
or something thing that stands in his way for the final victory. It was the White Knight, this reader's heart was
racing and laughed for now the story was
to become more entertaining as the two dark vs. light fought for the Sword of
Truth and so much more.
Two brothers, one of dark and the other of light are in
combat fighting for what they believe, one for truth and another for revenge
against the light who punished him and stole away what was rightfully his and
he was insane with jealous and nothing would stand in his way, even his once
beloved brother and the battle had begun.
The author switches back to a village and a young lad
bringing hay to a small village, Sharpstone down on their luck and starving.
They are relieved to see this lad coming with his goods. Gewey Stedding lost his mother at a young age
and then his father at fifteen and left to fend, became a hay merchant and was
17 years and a woman's dream mate, 6' 2' black wavy hair, this reader swoons at
his good and handsome nature, helped all villagers for free, since economic
times were harsh. The dark times had invaded the village for 6 plus years and
everyone was suffering through it.
Gewey was an orphan and an old friend of his father had a
secret and gave it to him when he started on his travels back to his farm. This reader knew from glimpses this was going
to be a heart wrenching life transforming secret and now Gewey was faced with his destiny and the events
started to get more suspenseful as he is placed in his pre-destined role of
being blessed and to become a hero, saving the world from the Dark Knight.
In the author's words: from a letter from his departed
father:
"and your mother
left the room to put you down, he told me that you were special, and that the
gods had blessed you with a great destiny. At first, I thought he was playing a
joke, but the look in his eyes told me otherwise. When I asked him how he knew
this, he waved me off and said that eventually it would be revealed. The man
has always been somewhat of a mystery, but I believe he’s right."
The departed father spoke about Lee Starfinder, the story was lee took refuge in a temple with
his mother until he became bored with the temple life and was called into
service as a Lord Duke's servant and his destiny was to crossed paths with the
man who became the baby Gewey adopted father, and the authors goes on with
their story about the young man at the age of 17 and his mentor Star Leefinder
who came back into the young lad’s life and how each crossed paths with other colorful characters
as they are running from the Dark Knight and his henchmen. They journey to
temples to locate the answers to defeat the dark knight, locate the Sword of
Truth and unraveled the mystery of the secret treasure.
Along their journey
they met up with friends and foes not certain who to trust, they helped or hinder
Gewey and the others along their pre-destined mission as it unfolding and
defeating the evil that was claiming the lands and temples. He had conflicting
thoughts about the spirits, the supernatural creatures and his purpose of
protecting the world. . He and Gewey and
the others are the major catalysts in the future destiny of saving humanity and
unlocking the doorway to heaven and bring peace back to a broken unity between

The authors have a poetic style of relating this tale and
this reader was enthralled by all the hidden messages woven into this fable. In
