This is an epic tale full of heroes and villains, monsters and magic, wizards and knights, helpless maidens and dragons... Or is it? What if the heroic heroes sent to rescue the beautiful damsel in distress from the clutches of an evil dragon were STILL on minimum wage even though this is the THIRD QUEST THIS YEAR??? What if the helpful-yet-annoying wizard is a college student learning magic for extra credit? What if the evil witch who dresses in black and lives in a dark, foreboding fortress is an old woman who knits scarves with enchanted knitting needles, and has several not-so-evil black cats that chase yarn across the floor? What if the beautiful, helpless damsel with golden hair that everyone falls in love with is a closet metalhead and prefers ripped jeans to scratchy gowns? What if? Well, I guess you won't know until you read it. What are you waiting for?

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. A chance encounter with a magical ring leaves him transported to an alternate version of ancient Wales, or as it was sometimes called, Cambria. 1432 Wales, to be exact. Here magic is the most powerful weapon of all as kings vie for power. Good thing Gideon's teleportation from the present has also left him with the ability to use magic, and he's quickly regarded as a powerful wizard. 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.
