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?
