A Paladin's Journey

“I’m a barely educated peasant that an angry and chaotic god is using to screw up the world in ways nobody understands. Nobody is safe near me, especially me. Paladins often die young, and for stupid reasons” ~Krell, speaking to Dahlia

A Paladin’s Journey is a book series exploring what it means to be called into divine service by a deity. Krell is an unknown orphan of no importance, yet ReckNor, the lord of the seas and skies, has called him to serve as a paladin. It has been centuries since ReckNor made such a call, and nobody – especially Krell! – seems to know why, at least at first. The book series contains mature themes, exploring what a paladin called by an erratic and tempestuous god would act like, as opposed to the traditional trope of the noble warrior. The overriding premise is that actions have consequences, and we must all face the outcomes of our decisions.

Which is all the more difficult considering how erratic ReckNor is perceived to be. This forces Krell be a very different kind of paladin.

“Most importantly, he doesn’t care how I work his will, only that it gets done. Hieron cares a lot about the methods. ReckNor cares only for results.” ~Krell, speaking to Tristan

Intended to be a seven book series, books one and two are available now in all formats – hardcover, paperback, audiobook, and digital.

Beginning of Arrogance

Book 1 of A Paladin’s Journey

Paladins are nothing but trouble. Stories about paladins are everywhere, noble warriors riding magic steeds into battle against terrible foes. Champions of their gods. Heroes to everyone, except those who already have everything. Paladins are notorious for upsetting the balance of power, to the detriment of any who don’t worship their deity.

So when Krell is called to service by the capricious god of the seas and skies, ReckNor, those with wealth and power can’t help but be concerned. ReckNor hasn’t called a paladin in years, and his nature is ever-changing and erratic. The fact that Krell is also an uneducated nobody with a stubborn streak as wide as the sea turns their concerns into fear.

All of which matters less than the threat clawing its way from the waves, ready to turn the ocean red with spilled blood…

Editorial Reviews

Futility of Defense

Book 2 of A Paladin’s Journey

Paladins are nothing but trouble. When Krell, an uneducated nobody with a stubborn streak as wide as the sea, hears the call from ReckNor, the capricious god of the seas and skies, the attention of the rich and powerful turn their gaze toward him. Paladins are notorious for upsetting the balance of power, to the detriment of any who don’t worship their deity.

When Krell stands against the might of the sea devils and emerges victorious, concern and interest turn to fear—fear of their secrets and plans being revealed and exposed, of the ruin that often follows in a paladin’s wake. Now he stands in defense of a pitiful town at the edge of nowhere, even as the sea devil menace grows more dire for each day that passes.

For as deadly as the sea devils are to Krell, his past choices and the consequences of his actions may be deadlier still . . .
