Foundlings

by Matthew Christian Harding Author

Lord McDougal and his faithful shield-bearer, Fergus Leatherhead, are ever ready to protect and serve others. And Gimcrack the dwarf needs protection. After Lord McDougal and his man save the dwarf from a winged dragon, the three are soon embroiled in a mysterious search for two foundlings. One of these foundlings is Thiery, a boy trained to understand nature, tame animals, and be a Ranger. But the dreaded Dragon Priests want to make him a cozen sacrifice, forcing him to flee along with his pet wolf, Horatio. One of those working with the Dragon Priests is Count Rosencross, a proud leader who wants to become the country’s next Chronicler and is willing to do anything to secure the post. Can such a man really feel the promptings of conscience? All paths converge toward the city of Hradcanny, through a country abounding with strange terrors and ruthless slave traders. Can our heroes reach the city before Master Squilby releases his bloodthirsty Death-Hounds and the Death Hunt begins? Foundlings is the first book in The Peleg Chronicles, a high-adventure series set in post-Babel times. The Peleg Chronicles weaves together biblical principles of chivalry, truth, courage, duty, faith, and love within the framework of Genesis. Strange creatures lurk in swamps, forests, and caves, and brutal giants stalk the land, but fear not! This is not another magical fantasy story. The Peleg Chronicles adheres firmly to God’s Word, exploring what the world may have looked like in the days when the book of Job was recent news. No magic. No Evolution. No humanism. No compromise.
