Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In King Arthur's uneasy Britain of old, songs are sung for the wrong men.Edrin is only a squire-low-born, steady-handed, and nearly invisible beneath the shine of noble armor. He wakes before dawn to shoe restless horses, mend failing gear, read danger in the road, and solve the thousand practical problems that keep proud men alive long enough to be called heroes. He is not the man the crowd notices. He is the boy who makes sure there is still a crowd left to cheer.Sir Garran, the knight he serves, is everything the world admires: handsome, polished, eloquent, and made for applause. In a hall, under torchlight, with his silver mail gleaming and his surcoat spotless, he looks like honor itself. He wears courage well. He speaks of duty beautifully. And when fear remains at a distance, he can almost believe the tales told about him.But borderlands do not care for appearances.When Garran is sent into the troubled Vale of Penwyth to restore order in the King's name, Edrin rides at his side into a land of hungry villages, broken loyalties, and shadows that do not answer to any earthly law. Livestock and villagers vanish in the night. People whisper of things in the woods that are older than kings. The air itself seems to hold its breath. And with every mile, the thin line between rumor and terror begins to fail.Traveling with them is Maelin, a young apprentice from Merlin's circle-sharp-minded, watchful, and gifted in reading omens, though not yet proven when danger turns real. Watching them all is Brother Aelric, a quiet elder whose eyes miss very little, and whose silence may conceal judgment, purpose, or both.Then the first true test comes. A life is saved. A horror is faced. A village endures another night.And when the story is told, the credit goes to Sir Garran.At first, Edrin lets the mistake stand. A squire serves. A knight is praised. That is the order of things.But the pattern repeats.Each time the road darkens, it is Edrin who acts first. Edrin who steadies the frightened.Edrin who sees what others refuse to see. Edrin who pays the cost in sweat, blood, and silence.And each time, Garran steps into the light that Edrin has earned.What begins as misunderstanding hardens into something far more dangerous: a lie dressed in silver, praised by frightened people who need a hero badly enough to choose the wrong one.Yet the greatest threat in Penwyth is not merely false glory.Something ancient is waking beneath the land.Old bargains have been broken. Ancient hungers stir in hill and hollow. The deeper the company rides into the vale, the more Edrin begins to understand that this mission is not simply about raiders, missing livestock, or frightened villagers. It is about truth and fear. Service and self-erasure. The terrible cost of allowing appearances to stand where character should have been tested.Because when darkness finally rises in full, armor will not save the man who wears it. Titles will not steady a trembling hand. And the realm will be forced to answer a harder question than who won the praise.What makes a knight? A shining shield? A noble name? The witness of the crowd?Or the courage to do what is needed when no one is looking?The Quiet Deeds of Edrin is a mythic Arthurian fantasy of hidden heroism, moral courage, old danger, and earned recognition. It is a story for readers who love honorable underdogs, emotionally grounded adventure, noble atmosphere, and the slow, powerful vindication of truth long denied. With rich medieval texture, a quietly unforgettable hero, and a world where worth must be proven before it is seen, this is a tale of loyalty, friendship, sacrifice, and the kind of nobility that survives even in the dark.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. he fifth bell has sounded beneath Black Hollow Mountain, and the prison of the Hollow King is weakening.After uncovering the shard of the Kingblade and awakening the forgotten oaths of Evermore, Gonn Vale now understands that the darkness cannot be faced by one bloodline, one city, or one broken blade alone. The old covenant must be gathered again, but the living are divided by fear, wounded by history, and slow to trust one another. Lareth struggles beneath the weight of refugees and unrest. The Stoneborn halls debate whether to answer or seal themselves away. The ancient roads beneath the mountains are waking, and not all who listen from the deep still serve the oath.As messengers race toward river cities, beacon ridges, hidden holds, and forgotten gates, the servants of the Hollow King move to divide the living before they can stand together. The lower roads are no longer silent. Blue fire stirs beneath the stone. The northern shard calls from within the prison. And with every bell that sounds, the gate beneath Black Hollow draws nearer to opening.Gonn must learn what it truly means to be a witness of the old oath, not a king, not a conqueror, and not a master of the shard. But as fear spreads and ancient powers awaken, he will be tempted by the very promise the Hollow King offers: unity without freedom, peace without choice, and order beneath one crown.In this second book of the Black Hollow saga, the road widens from survival to war, from hidden memory to open summons, and from one boy's burden to the gathering of many peoples. The living have begun to answer, but the sixth bell is coming, and if the seventh should ring, the Hollow King will rise. The fifth bell has sounded, and the Hollow King's prison is weakening. As fear spreads through Evermore, Gonn Vale must gather the divided living before the sixth bell rings and the darkness beneath Black Hollow rises again. This item is printed on demand.
