This book has been a work of love for my two boys, now grown men. I started it when they were boys and have now finally finished it.The story is a moral fantasy adventure, in the fashion of C.S. Lewis. My hope is that my boys, and their children will enjoy this adventure and bring generations of young and old much pleasure. I'm not ashamed that this book is Christian in its manner, nor that it has a moral at the end, that I hope is not lost in the adventure of the story.There be pirates, dragons, knights, dwarfs, and a multitude of creatures that will lead you on a quest of an adventure as you peruse these pages. These are all of the things I was wont to read as a child, and still as an adult I get pleasure out of reading about these creatures. I hope they bring you as much joy and pleasure, as they have brought me as I sat and wrote each line.Dedicated to my two sons, Aaron and Jeremy, the main characters of the story. I love you both with all of my heart and know that you will do great things in your lives, and those of your wives and children.Last, but not least, I thank God for the desire to write, and the imagination that seems to flow out of my mind with the ease of turning on a faucet.I truly pray that you will enjoy this story, and the characters within its pages.Samuel E. Campbell
