Kingdom's Dawn — Chuck Black

He's just a young man, but that doesn't change the truth. He Was Chosen....

Sixteen-year-old Leinad thought he was a common farmer's son, nothing more. He wondered why his father had trained him for years to master the sword -- not exactly a tool of the trade for farmers -- but one tragic event initiates a world of revelation.

Only then does he begin to understand his calling -- a calling no other man in the entire kingdom of Arrethtrae can fulfill -- a calling given him by the King Himself.

Teamed with a young slave girl, Leinad is thrust into adversity and danger -- for the Dark Knight and his vicious Shadow Warriors will stop at nothing to thwart the King's plan to restore the kingdom. Leinad will need more than a sharp blade and a swift hand to fulfill his mission and survive the evil plots of the King's sworn enemies!

Journey to Arrethtrae, where the King and His Son implement a bold plan to save their kingdom; where courage, faith, and loyalty stand in the face of opposition; where good will not bow to evil -- and the future of a kingdom lies in the hands of a young man.
