When young Prince Cloud, grandson of the mighty King Clovis and heir to the Kingdom of Orleans, is suspiciously summoned to his uncle's castle, little does he know his world is about to implode.

Come back in time 900 years, to the fierce and desolate Northern lands, where Norsemen ruled with ax and sword. A dying king, a shocking death-wish, his heirs divided with an oath of blood . . .
​In this fast-paced novel, the conflict unfolds between Magnus Erlendson, a heroic young prince aflame with the love of God, and his outlawed cousin Hakon, who blames Magnus for his banishment from their kingdom. What follows is a tale of betrayal and revenge, bravery and forgiveness, as Magnus seeks to restore his father’s vanquished kingdom to its rightful hands.

- Top 50 Best Catholic Homeschooling Books of 2013
​- Awarded Catholic Writers' Guild Seal of Approval 2017

An action-packed, thrilling historical novel about the little-known life of  Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, the leper Crusader king who despite ascending the throne at only thirteen years old, and his incredibly debilitating disease performed great and heroic deeds in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. An amazing story of courage, loyalty, friendship and unflinching love for God and duty. A favorite with homeschoolers and schools alike.
