Eternity's Hope (Book Synopsis) by Mitzi Kleidon Buy from XlibrisPage 2 of 2
Throughout their adventures, readers discover interesting stories and
the
magic behind them that have since turned the tales into powerful legends.
They often speak of King Arthur's actual defeat of death, and his
hundred-year sleep. As the stories pass from one Knight to another, King
Stefan comes to the unexplained realization that his fate has been decided,
and that this journey with his trusted brothers may be their last one
together. It's up to the readers to discover whether King Stefan's beliefs
are true premonitions of what's to be, manifested fear or perhaps even a
sorceress' spell placed on him to diminish his leadership with the Knights of
the Round Table.
As the Knights and King follow James through burned out, rancid
smelling
villages, wondering if they will find their brother alive, the reader is
given glimpses into their very souls. Questions-doubt-renewed
courage-strength-vowed loyalty; all are displayed throughout the Knight's
journey. All are tested through their inner struggles and outer battles.
Each Knight discovers his purpose, determined to fulfill his destiny so that
the power of twelve lives on throughout "Eternity."
There is evidence all around them that Tierok, continues to lead his
Dark
Army forward, in pursuit of the innocent prey of unsuspecting townsmen, armed
with only small hunting bows and a brave desire to protect their families.
They leave the dead to be eaten by wild animals, the wounded to bleed to
death, and the women and children to suffer the overwhelming pain of their
losses-the Dark Army's evil laughter and shrill shouts of power echoes in the
wake of their destruction.
Just when things seem most hopeless, James is given a mystical stone
whose power promises to remain a secret to him and the readers until it is
needed. Its glowing, pink warmth has yet to manifest its power, which will
soon offer James and his fellow Knights their life-altering experience on the
battlefield. All James knows is that the message given by The Ancient One is
"One must die in order for one to live." And, that's the discovery, the
rue-one lives, one dies.
The final battle is one of such magnitude, such devastation, such
gut-wrenching loss that readers will find themselves reaching for a tissue or
two. For the first time, the Knights' brotherhood will be threatened, and
for a while they're lost in a bitter battle more ferocious than any they've
seen with the Dark Army. Will Tierok and his warriors prevail? Will they
worm their way right into the very heart and souls of the Knights? Each
slung sword, pitched spear, brandished shield will have you holding your
breath-fighting for right alongside the Knights of old. There will be few
more tired than the readers, having experienced the battle firsthand,
worrying over the wounded and puzzled over what the future holds for the
twelve-or is it the eleven?
Having completed the book, readers will begin to see their world just a
bit differently. The ending promises a wondrous twist that catapults the
Knights into our times and beyond, where they're asked to help today's
troubled people with declining values and diminished sense of purpose to find
their destiny. Where will the Knights reside? Look around you; who knows,
perhaps they are your neighbor, your boss, your best friend or your brother?
The next time you hear of a miracle, you'll know it could be at the hands of
Merlin and his men. The next time you witness an unexplained act of kindness
or chivalry, it could be because you are in the presence of Rexcalibur or
James, Michael or Nathaniel. Or, the next time you feel the hairs on the
back of your neck rise and sense the presence of evil, look over your
shoulder-Tierok could be breathing down your neck, continuing his evil
pursuit.
Whether for the lessons, the love, the loyalty, the battles or the
brotherhood, Eternity's Hope is
a one-sit read, so be prepared to escape from today's troubles into
yesterday's majestic tale. Throughout its pages, perhaps you'll be inspired
to adopt some of the wisdom and kindness, character and strength of the very
Knights that make up the legendary stories of King Arthur. Or, maybe you'll
make discoveries about your own leadership capabilities, and expand those
discoveries into your professional and personal lives. After all, everybody
is attracted to the traits and behavior, the beliefs and philosophies of the
Knights of the Round Table-even the darkest entity cannot live where there is
light. Could it be that the power and wisdom of King Arthur's Knights of the
Round Table reside within all of us? Are you willing to take the journey and
discover the magic?
