The King's Paladin Kindle Edition

The Meek Will Go ExtinctAleric lives a grueling life as a dungeon guard in the once magical and prosperous kingdom of Mazeron, which has crumbled since magic was banned and its users forcefully exterminated, ultimately leaving it defenseless against a world of perils.When a dragon's attack leaves his life in ashes, Aleric’s grief awakens a power he never knew he possessed; a power which is also punishable by death. Summoned before the reclusive king and his sinister counsel, Aleric faces an inescapable predicament: face execution, or become the king’s paladin, the kingdom’s last hope for salvation.Haunted by loss and hunted for his powers, Aleric is thrust into a world of secret societies, ancient grimoires, and deadly conspiracies. As he battles mythical beasts and navigates shifting alliances, Aleric must decide whether to wield his newfound strength for himself or for his king and the fragile hope of Mazeron’s future. But in a land where magic means exile or death, every choice could cost him everything he has left.For readers who crave adventure and expedition fantasy with high stakes, unforgettable creatures and characters, and a kingdom on the brink, The King’s Paladin is a sweeping tale of power, loss, sacrifice, and the courage to reclaim a lost world.“A FAIRYTALE FOR ADULTS. The King’s Paladin blends the charm and coziness of classic fairytales with excitement and adventure on every page.”“A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. A delightful story full of unique creatures and characters that transports you away from our world and into one that is far more fun.”“PLEASANTLY PROFOUND. Rich with clever allegories and timeless morals, Cloward eloquently delves into the notion that tyranny and control are inherent human nature.”_________________________________________________________________________________________________________CONTENTS:Part I1: A Secret Meeting2: The Incident3: Kingdom In Ruin4: An Agreement5: The Mischief Mage6: The Forest Walker7: Dark Passageways8: Assassins In The Castle9: The Witch’s Woods10: High Mountain Trouble11: The Stray Fox Inn12: Skerlin13: Sophie The Stone Gnome14: The Brigands15: The Witch KalindraPart II16: The Morghvile17: Jace18: Evicted19: The High Elves20: Tyranny21: Emoras-Graum22: The Battle For Mazeron23: The Keep24: The Lake Of Dreams25: Wizard’s Last StandEpilogue: The Witch And The Wizard___ Read more
