Wharton Chronicles

How powerful does a person have to be to be qualified to decide his own destiny? What Nathan Warden originally wanted was actually very simple: to keep the land, make his family live a better life, and free himself from having to bow to anyone. But in thirteenth-century Europe, land meant taxes, wealth meant coveting, marriage meant alliance, and behind one sword, there was always another sword. So he began to count things that couldn't be measured in numbers - trust, commitment, dignity and betrayal. He had no idea where he would end up. Readers are also not expected to know ahead of time. "The Chronicles of Wharton" is not a story about "a man of destiny conquers the world," nor is it a cool novel that crams modern answers into the Middle Ages. There are no systems, no predictions, no one is destined to win. Every choice leaves a price, every relationship may change the future, and a person who initially just wants to live his own life may unknowingly end up in a position he never imagined. If you like worlds that actually grow, slowly accumulating power, believable relationships, and the urge to wonder what happens next - welcome to The Wharton Chronicles.
