Paladins

by Matthew Christian Harding Author

The Death Hunt is on. Lord McDougal and Fergus are running for their lives from Master Squilby’s Death Hounds, trying to protect the Lady Mercy from the fierce beasts and their cruel riders. Meanwhile, Thiery and Gimcrack need to find work in the city of Hradcanny. Only one master accepts applications from boys without recommendations. The catch? That master is Master Squilby. The Dragon Priests still want Gimcrack and Thiery’s lives, and they’re also looking for Suzy, the boy’s adopted sister. But the Count is having second thoughts. Does a little girl really deserve death simply for serving Noah’s God? King Strongbow is presiding over the festivities at Hradcanny, including the gladiatorial games which have drawn viewers from all over the kingdom. The Dragon Priests see this as a beautiful opportunity — what will Gimcrack do if he’s forced into the arena to face a trio of giants? Paladins is the second 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.
