Medieval Scotland (Pictland) 650 AD

Several tragic deaths... a misunderstanding, and an escape 
from certain death.
After his father's violent death, Kieran and his mother escape 
to neutral lands. On the cusp of adulthood, the past catches 
up with him and takes everything he had... well almost. 
As he struggles with his demons, both real and imaginary, 
he finds love and support in unexpected corners. Read on to 
learn more of how an entire nation crumbled... all because of a 
terrible misunderstanding between two clans that had become 
so much more. The terrible wars fought on both sides, the 
ever-growing grudges, the spreading darkness, the lives lost 
and blood split. And somewhere in the midst of that darkness, 
a spring brought on by new love and hope for a new reign.

His adventures take him across time and the globe, hoping one day to find treasure worthy enough to trade to his cruel master in return for what he wants the most: his voice. His current conquest is a fabled wizard, the now legendary Gideon Saint, of Wales. And Kit may have just met his match. Sequel series to 'Last Knights of Cambria', with some reoccurring characters. Ahem, good people die, bad people live, everyone is inexplicably gay. Robbery. Haunted tombs. Murder. Revenge. Sick burns. Chaos. Drama. What's not to love? Yes, you may learn something about history but that's a risk you're going to have to take. Yes Henry V does show up and yes he's still awesome. Richard the Lionheart is also in this one. This pick-your-problematic-English-monarch-to-simp-for game is getting harder. Trigger/Content Warnings: Some blood and gore. Fantasy violence. Some brief profanity, as well as a couple of homophobic slurs. Slightly more graphic and violent than the Last Knights of Cambia series, though nothing overt. Some mild sensuality, two character kiss. It is discussed characters have kissed. Another two characters embrace in what could be perceived as a romantic manner. Family/domestic violence that may be upsetting to some readers.
Trials of Gideon Book 1: The Cursed Blade by kullman
17 parts Complete
Gideon Saint is usually in trouble. It's his pastime to get involved in epic quests throughout history, namely the Middle Ages. Once again, he's run afoul of the Templars, and ancient organization of Wizards. This time, they are offering him the chance to right old wrongs, by retrieving a mysterious cursed blade. 1403 awaits. Sequel Series to Last Knights of Cambia series, and the Days of the Dead trilogy, ergo it contains spoilers for those. Similar narrative style and tone, that is if you want English history explained like Lemony Snicket, then this is for you. Ahem. Living people die, dead people live. Swords. Epic Battles. Mysterious riddles. Coded messages. True love. Traitors. Murder. Found families. Yes, Henry V is here and he is awesome. Did we mention swords? Tombs are described in loving detail. People are not. Yes you may learn something about the battle of Shrewsberry but that's a risk you're going to have to take. Content/Trigger Warning: A battle is depicted at length, relatively graphic blood/gore associated with that. A character is injured severely and must twice undergo surgery on page, this is fairly graphic and may be disturbing to some readers. Brief innuendo. Some brief strong language. Some mild sexuality. Catholicism is discussed. All disturbing scenes are usually forewarned, that is it's clear what is going to happen. Some brief peril. Some light disturbing humor relating to murder. PG-13 quality stuff, be aware of your mental state and seek support as needed.

Gideon Saint is dying for something exciting to happen in his life. With his love of history, he figures an internship at the museum has to be a good start, right? Anything is better than listening to his parents argue or sitting alone in his room doing research no one but him seems to care about.

In this timeline, Wales maintained it's independence, but that's about to change. Henry V is on the throne of the England, and the greatest warrior king England has ever had has set his sights on Wales. Can Gideon help save his newfound friends and master his new powers, while living a double life in the 21st century? Ahem, living people die, dying people live, Henry V is here and he's awesome despite being the main antagonist, everybody is vaguely gay, swords are described in loving detail, people are not, lovely platonic friendships, did we mention swords? Yes, you may learn something about history, but that's a risk you'll have to take. Basically, think of this as a Percy Jackson type of adventure, but it's historical fiction instead of Greek gods. The narrator is 15 and the major supporting characters are 14, 17, and 19. That said, there's nothing in the way of content that's inappropriate for a younger reader. As always if you're not here to go on a fun little adventure find a different story. Trigger/Content: very mild language, some magic violence, fantasy violence. Self-harm is briefly discussed. Adoption issues are discussed as well as brief scenes of a abusive family. Characters briefly mention crushes and or dating, no real innuendos.
