Before he becomes the greatest Karmon Knight, before he becomes embroiled in plots of treason and intrigue, Brace Hawkden was just a lowly squire ready to take the final challenge to become a knight. At the moment he is about to earn his coveted knighthood, a simple mistake changes the course of his life. Having to abandon his dreams of serving as a Karmon Knight, he returns home to his bitter father and the prospects of a hard and lonely life. It is when his brother, Sir Brom, makes a surprise trip home that Brace is given the chance for redemption. Set against the backdrop of the White Mountains, Brace and Brom must face an unknown band of soldiers, known as the Bright Order. Their motives are as mysterious as their existence, but their threat to life and limb is clear. For Brace Hawkden, survival means not only fighting for his life but learning to become the man he is meant to be. All the while, an ambitious young Neffenmark, son of a local lord, plants seeds of treason and discord. Playing all sides with, and against, one another, Neffenmark makes the first move in his quest for power and control of the kingdom. Sword of the Kingdom is a stand-alone novel whose events precede those of The Champions Chronicles.
