A Brief Foreword

This book was written due to my admiration of the tales of knights and dragons, Of the evil and the light, Of my love of tales of yore. I was inspired by two authors: John Flanagan and J.R.R Tolkien.

I dedicate this book to a few people in particular.

To Kasey, whom I give the greatest respect and love of her artwork.

To Bryden, whom I thank for his great comradery and respect.

And finally, To Max, The one who inspired me to keep writing and to pursue this dream.

I would also like to thank my family and everyone else who supports me and helps me through tough times.
