Benjamin Trace Pendragon Jr. and the Rite of Passage
By Vincent L. Newkirk Johnson II

n this gripping faith-and-cowboy-boxing saga, 6'4″, 254-lb Benjamin Trace Pendragon Jr. stands at the crossroads of destiny on the night of his 18th birthday. At the sprawling Pendragon Ranch in Texas, three generations gather beneath the stars for a rite of passage unlike any other. He will don the Pendragon Blue gloves, step into the ring, and inherit a $3.5 billion legacy built on faith, family and freedom.

Guided by his towering 6'6″ godfather Trace Adkins, Benjamin confronts five rounds of gloved sparring, five rounds of bare-knuckle challenge, cowboy-style training and a symbolic knighting. He receives eighteen carefully chosen gifts-each representing a lesson in life, leadership and legacy. The culmination: the family sword is laid across his shoulders as he is dubbed Sir Benjamin of Southlake, ready to carry the Pendragon name into a new century.

Rooted in Christian values, deep family bonds and the gritty ring of boxing, this is the story of a young man who fights not just for victory-but for virtue. Whether you love cowboy culture, boxing drama, or faith-filled fiction, this tale delivers heart-pounding action and soul-stirring purpose.

Join Benjamin as he learns:

What it means to lead with strength and love

How heritage can be both inheritance and responsibility

That greatness comes when one stands for something greater than oneself

Prepare for a story that punches hard, prays deeper, and never forgets where it started. A true-blue legacy begins here.
