Publisher's Synopsis
This novella is related to the novel "Of Wisdom and Valor: The Art of War. The Path of Peace." (Part II of the Windflower Saga). In a time not now and in a world not of our own... He will become the youngest and most victorious warlord in the region. Ever. He will later become a beloved king, an advocate for peace, and a man of deep faith. In his elder years, he will be called upon to defend Kimbria one last time; and he will die a national hero, the savior of his people. He will marry and become a father and a grandfather; the ancestor of future dukes and duchesses of Ansgar. But right now, he's a fourteen-year-old youth, a parentless orphan; tall for his age, energetic, athletic, quiet, kind, well-liked, and extremely bright. Right now, he has no other expectation for his future but to become a teacher, and possibly a monk. Right now, he has no title, no family, no wealth, and no home, but what Brother Ermen and the monks at Longridge Monastery give him. One day, he will be called Lord and Majesty; but today he's simply called Leofric of Longridge.
