Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Adventure, magic, love, and knights of the realm collide in this delightfully witty tale . . . this romp through the land of King Arthur is a gem.” —School Library Journal Luneta is tired of living in dull Orkney with her mother and father (who happens to be the most boring knight of King Arthur’s Round Table). She prides herself on always getting what she wants, so when the opportunity presents itself, she jumps at the chance to stay at a family friend’s castle near Camelot. Her handsome cousin, Sir Ywain—a young knight seeking adventure—arrives just in time to escort her to King Arthur’s court. Along the way they pick up a knight-turned-fool named Rhience, whose wit and audacity set many a puffed-up personality in its place. Before arriving at Lady Laudine’s castle, the trio stops at Camelot, where they hear the story of the Storm Stone, a magical object deep in the forest that soon sweeps everyone into a web of love, betrayal, and more than a bit of magic. Filled with broken promises, powerful enchantresses, unconventional sword fights, fierce and friendly lionesses, mysterious knights, and damsels in and out of distress, The Lioness and Her Knight proves itself as witty and adventuresome as the rest of Gerald Morris’s tales from King Arthur’s court. “Morris balances farce and drama with ease, and his main characters are memorable, sympathetic, and frequently hilarious.” —The Horn Book “Clever, funny and wise . . . Once again, Morris brilliantly re-animates an old story, keeping readers engaged while gently, genially urging them to ruminate over the truths at its heart.” —Kirkus Reviews

Victory is not always what it seems. Keladry of Mindelan has finally achieved her lifelong dream of becoming a knight—but it’s not quite what she imagined. In the midst of a brutal war, Kel has been assigned to oversee a refugee camp. She’s sure it’s because Lord Wyldon still doesn’t see her as equal to the men. Nevertheless, she’s learning the importance of caring for people who have been robbed of their homes, wealth, and self-respect. Perhaps this battle is as important as the war with Scanra? When Kel has a vision of the man behind the horrific killing devices that her friends are fighting without her, will she honor her sworn duty . . . or embark on a quest that could turn the tide of the war? More timely than ever, the Protector of the Small series is Anti-Bullying 101 while also touching on issues of bravery, friendship, and dealing humanely with refugees against a backdrop of an action-packed fantasy adventure.

Download or read book The Squire's Tale written by Gerald Morris and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2008-04-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First in the medieval fantasy series set in Camelot. “This Arthurian adventure is all heart—and humor.”—Publishers Weekly Growing up an orphan in an isolated cottage in the woods, young Terence never expected much adventure. But upon the arrival of Gawain, his life takes a surprising turn. Gawain is destined to become one of the most famous knights of the Round Table. Terence becomes Gawain’s squire and leaves his secluded life for one of adventure in King Arthur’s court. In no time Terence is plunged into the exciting world of kings, wizards, knights, wars, magic spells, dwarfs, damsels in distress, and enchanters. As he adjusts to his new life, he proves to be not only an able squire but also a keen observer of the absurdities around him. His duties take him on a quest with Gawain and on a journey of his own, to solve the mystery of his parentage. Filled with rapier-sharp wit, jousting jocularity, and chuckleheaded knights, this is King Arthur’s court as never before experienced. “The author leaves some tantalizing questions, and the tale is filled with knightly derring-do.”—The Horn Book “Well-drawn characters, excellent, snappy dialogue, detailed descriptions of medieval life, and a dry wit put a new spin on this engaging tale.”—Booklist “If your readers are looking for some notable swashing and buckling with a little chivalrous slapstick thrown in, this retelling of Arthurian legend is the book for you.”—The Bulletin “There are plenty of sword fights and flashes of sorcery to delight readers, while the plot moves at a swift clip.”—Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: The Knight and the Lioness When Drace met Ki on the practice field he was relieved to see that it was only she and her brother, Cearan. Kii 1/2s expression however made Drace feel uneasy and more than a little nervous. He felt himself start to sweat. Suck it up MacKinnon, he thought to himself, eyeing Ki. She stood talking to Cearan, her fine brows drawn together and she looked pissed. She returned his look, making him feel like something distasteful under her boot. Well Ii 1/2m not all that tickled to be here either, lady, Drace thought, walking across the area with no grass the size of a football field. He stopped just out of reach of the pair. Cearan wore a faintly amused expression as he held a long sword and shield for Dracei 1/2s use. Drace had refused the short sleeveless shirt the siblings seemed to prefer. Instead he wore his only pair of doeskin breeches and leather boots, stripping out of the loose white linen shirt Estelle had found for him. Nimbusi 1/2 words echoed in his head. Ki had not spoken to him yet and the way she was whipping that big sword around as she warmed up made him swallow hard. Maybe Nimbus did have some grounds for concern. Drace was suddenly very glad Cearan was there. What the man would do if Lady Ki decided to do him in, he wasni 1/2t sure but thought maybe he would at least scrape together whatever was left for disposal. Besides, he was a fellow man. Guys stuck together and Drace hoped that was true across planes as well. Cearan handed Drace the long practice sword, the edges blunted but still capable of causing damage. The leather wrapped hilt fit nicely in his palm. The blade stop angled slightly down the blade. The hilt was unadorned and the blade plain steel. He also handed Drace a round, black painted, wooden shield, helping him adjust the straps to fit Dracei 1/2s left arm snugly but comfortably. Cearan made a final adjustment and slapped the front of the shield. Drace raised his eyes from the sword to see a wink from the other man. i 1/2Give it a few swings to get the feel of it, and do not forget to breathe.i 1/2 Drace took a deep breath and gave him a lopsided grin. He walked off a few steps and gave a few practice swings. Even for a practice sword the balance was incredible. He continued to warm up for a moment then turned and approached Ki. He gave her a nod of his head. i 1/2My Lady, I am ready for my first lesson.i 1/2 She returned his nod, i 1/2Good.i 1/2 Moving back, she began to circle him. The way she moved Drace went reflexively into a defensive partial crouch. Her expression was very serious and not at all welcoming. i 1/2First I wish to see what you know, and then I will teach. Do not expect any special treatment from me.i 1/2 Her husky voice, with its soft accent, was almost a purr. She continued around him and at the split second he readjusted his weight she was on him. She was fast. He didni 1/2t have time to counter with his sword and blocked with his shield instead. She came at him again but this time he was ready. He blocked, spun away and countered with a blow of his own. She expertly blocked and smiled at him. She then began to use harder and more complicated attacks. Twice she nicked his bare chest and blood mingled with sweat, running into the waistband of his breeches. He felt his temper rise, and thinking he saw an opening, attacked angrily. He woke up a minute later, Kii 1/2s mocking smile above him. i 1/2You cannot stop thinking even if you are angry. If you forget this, you will die, i 1/2 she informed snidely, an arrogant tilt to her head. Dizzy, Drace rolled up to his knees in time to see her walk away, tossing her sword to her brother and continuing on to the castle, ending the first lesson. Drace rested one hand in the dirt, touching the newly forming knot on his forehead with the other
