Men of the Realmlands
About this ebook series
The handsome prince is desperate to save the damsel in distress, but has no idea what it will cost him, or what more he will have to pay to save his kingdom.
Tristan despairs for his kingdom on his drunken, bullying, idolatrous brother Dunstan's coronation day. After a raging river whips him a hundred miles away into an impoverished, isolated village, he sees no way to get back home and has to be content to work with and serve these people instead of his own.On one agonizing night, Tristan thinks he has lost his last hope of saving his beloved and ever returning to his kingdom. He cannot see how God can still use him, but love and courage prepare him to face an old enemy and a new opportunity to rescue the damsel in distress and win the kingdom.
Complications arise with that plan when Jonathan encounters an island kingdom in the grip of devilish wickedness and an exotic woman mercenary who demands information but keeps her own quest a secret. Another beautiful stranger claims she is a shipbuilder in a land where women are mere slaves and marriage chattel.
The creation of that marvelous navy of three ships costs Jonathan pain and turmoil he can hardly imagine. The shipbuilder vanishes and Jonathan is nearly killed, but the warrior woman and her six soldiers for hire rescue him and beg passage home with him.
Distrust of everything in that violent land makes him refuse her, but Jonathan will find more trouble and distress back home even amid the joy of discovering his lost friend is alive. What will happen when Jonathan sees again the beautiful mercenary his mother calls “his warrior woman?”
His navy will eventually return to the country where it was born, but will it be for a rescue or a war? Jonathan thinks he is prepared for spiritual warfare but he has no inkling of the grip demons have on the kingdom of the South Crescentlands and the principal island of Kolt’Kutan.
