Seth Roberts is a typical teenager, that is, until his mother sends him to St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, to visit his Great Uncle Herman. In St. John’s, Seth discovers that Herman is a wizard, in fact, the son of Merlin himself. Soon, Herman asks Seth if he would like to go on an adventure and he quickly agrees. With the help of a strange medallion, Herman sends Seth back in time to the year 1128 A.D. to Cambria, a village founded by Tristan, one of the Knights of Author’s Round Table. In Cambria, he discovers his true potential, family secrets, and love. Seth soon finds himself on the adventure of a lifetime as he races to save Briana, the queen of Cambia, and Cambria itself.

Cambria

"Let go of me, you clumsy oaf!" Briana yelled at the guard who was busy trying to hold her onto the horse as they entered the wide, iron gates of La Castle Camelot de Cambria. The castle was made of huge, old stones carefully stacked together and sealed with mortar, and huge iron gates, and rounded doorways. If Briana had been in a different frame of mind, she would have appreciated its beauty. This was her first trip that she remembered taking to the castle. 


Townspeople, peasants in fact, stared at her as the guards passed, with Dracon leading them. In fact, most of them stepped out of the way when they saw Dracon and his guards approaching. They passed many shops within the walls of the castle: a fruit and vegetable stand, a cobbler shop, a blacksmith shop, and a seamstress shop, to name a few. A whole community existed within the walls of the castle, and Briana could tell that many people lived and, apparently, worked within these walls.
