The Gallantry and Perjury of a Quiet Knight

By N.R. Macellar

"For long, a notion deep within my heart has compelled me to suspect that, in the grand scheme of time, the recent days have unfolded askew of it all; just as with a cord that is partially severed, many a thread continues to wind as it should, but there is ever one that is suddenly rent apart from it. Tell me, Sir Ange, as you are an angel of the Lord; do we exist now in a divergent strand of events, apart from that which is intended by the Almighty God? Has He sent you hither to repair this thing?" Far to the east of Christendom, a company of nine monastic knights sally into a land known as the 'Wild Fields' in search of two hundred Hungarian cavalrymen that have all mysteriously vanished therein. However, their path is not without perils, and even stranger things await them in their holy quest. The armies of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania bear down from the North, a cult of heathens calls upon a witch queen, and an incubus attacks without refrain and stalks without relent. Most peculiar of all, there is a man whose head is locked inside of a helm so that his voice cannot be heard, nor can his identity be known. The mettle and faith of these Christian knights shall be tested; for, knightly prowess and strength of arms alone shall not avail them in these lands, "...wherein the eye of the Almighty God does not see." Author N. R. Macellar proudly debuts with The Gallantry and Perjury of a Quiet Knight, a story set in the Tartar steppe during 14th century, which revivifies the style and spirit of classical tales of chivalry with a careful reverence for the past, but also with a stark newness that distinguishes it from any other. Readers that are new to the genre shall find themselves swept into a gripping, energetic, and vibrant journey that will teach them as much as it will entertain them, and readers more versed in history and folklore shall greatly appreciate the passion and acute attention which the author has given every page, and embrace it as a story worth of the epics of old. Containing over 140 illustrations hand-drawn by the author himself, The Gallantry and Perjury of a Quiet Knight is a treasure that is certain to be read again and again for many years to come.
