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

"Why do we not have a prayer?" Briana asked. "Herman of Cambria, would you do the honor?"


Herman stood and folded his hands before him. "Yes, My Queen." He thought for a moment, then said, "Dear Lord, please remember our fallen knights, and keep them safe with you in Heaven. Also, thank you for the fellowship that we share here today, and bless our loved ones who are not present with us. Lastly, please bless this bounty before us of which we are about to partake. Amen."


Everyone responded, "Amen." With that, the meal began. Everyone ate their fill, enjoying the break from the day's chores. Seth knew that, unlike the year before when he was expected to work in the garden, his job now was training ... and the job of his friends would be learning all they could. All too soon, the fighting would be very real. Seth was determined to make sure that his friends were well trained when that time came.
