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.

As they walked into the village of shops, he noticed a bit of excitement filling the air. People talked animatedly, very excited about something. Two women passed and he knew immediately what the excitement was about. 


"What do you think she will wear?" a plump woman, carrying a basket of vegetables, asked another woman at her side. 


"I do not know, but I am sure it will be spectacular," the other, slender woman answered, carrying a basket of fruits and vegetables, as well.  


Both women giggled, clearly excited. Seth knew they were talking about the upcoming wedding. He was sure that concerns with fashion among women had not changed much over the years. Seth's mouth set in a straight line as he let out a sigh. Time was running out and he knew they had to act quickly. 


"Who do you think will be competing in the joust?" the slender woman asked the other as they passed.
