Book excerpt: Doesn't every child dream of becoming a famous knight with an enormous kingdom to rule over? The Orphaned Knight is about two children, Alexander and Christopher, who fulfill this dream by wearing helmets, one white and the other black, that instantaneously transform them into full-grown knights. But this is not without consequences, for now they must bear the responsibilities that go along with being an adult, with being a knight, and eventually, with ruling a kingdom. But worst of all, the black helmet is transforming Christopher into a ruthless murderer. Enter Caviant. It is a world filled with comical dragons, fairies that dwell in shadows, wolves that speak and walk through walls, small towns and vast cities, abandoned castles, and a precise history that explains them all. It is a world filled with emotions that range from adult and childish love, to adult and childish hatred. Get ready for a novel that has vivid and yet simple descriptions, lively characters that mature as the pages turn, and an ending that will bring everything together and will leave you desperately yearning for book two.
