The Knight on the Horizon

Evan, a down-on-his-luck nobleman, is so poor he can barely make ends meet. The Church once persecuted him and nearly burned him at the stake, and his ancestors had already sold off everything valuable in the family. With no other choice, he decides to sell his ancestors' remains. A dutiful descendant, if ever there was one. Evan: “This sword served my ancestor through countless battles and earned him great distinction. In our family, it's as important as the ancestor himself.” “What a shame.” “Then you'll have to pay more!” This is a story about knights, set in a world of swords and magic. Follow a boy as he grows into a knight, the sort who is a real blight on the world, spoiling the whole pot. (Note: The early chapters are a little slow.)
