In the Presence of the King

"I have found a new author I will be wanting more of" - Rebecca Graf, Reedsy Discovery

"A great debut, hoping for sequels! Refreshingly down-to-earth, but also a classic fantasy offering."

The Golden Kingdom is in an uneasy peace following the Third Great War. But in Asaph's life, there is no peace. He and his friends steal for food and survival, until one day the teenager receives a stunning summons. He is to become a Royal Carrier, a knight in the Golden King's army. Doubting his worthiness, he accepts the commission and is given a dangerous mission behind enemy lines, one that will determine the future of the Kingdom. Can Asaph turn from his old ways to be what the Golden King needs him to be: not a thief, but a warrior?
