The Final Paladin

The Final Paladin

Life for Peg Bowman is rough in the infamous slums of Five Points, New York, but her brother’s murder changes everything. Thrust into incredible worlds beyond any story she’s ever heard, Peg meets Sir Godfrey, an eleven-hundred-year-old knight, trainer of Paladins. He reveals Peg's obligation to protect the Key of Apollyon, a relic of immense power. She is the last descendant of the Paladins and his only hope for keeping it safe. But will she succumb to the key’s lure and wield it for revenge?

About the Book

Life for Peg Bowman is rough in the infamous slums of Five Points, New York, but her brother’s murder changes everything.

Thrust into incredible worlds beyond any story she’s ever heard, Peg meets Sir Godfrey, an eleven-hundred-year-old knight from Charlemagne’s court, trainer of Paladins. He reveals to Peg her family’s ancient obligation to protect the Key of Apollyon, a relic of immense power. She is the last descendant of the Paladins and his only hope for keeping it safe.

When Godfrey confides her brother was murdered because of the Key, Peg rejects her calling and demands revenge, a luxury she can ill afford as otherworldly creatures seek her death to claim the Key’s power for themselves.

Can Godfrey and his faithful retinue—Chim the Hobgoblin, Rebecca the Jewish Maven and healer, and Jack the sometimes human and sometimes seven-foot Black Dog—keep her safe and convince her that her calling is worth pursuing? Or will she succumb to the Key’s lure and wield it for revenge?

“Deanna Fugett’s writing is gritty, fast-paced, and absorbing. Once falling into her stories you’ll be pleasantly lost in a well-crafted world where characters explore hard questions and truth resonates deep.”
~Brandy Vallance, Award-Winning Author of The Covered Deep

*

“Deanna Fugett seeks to create more than memorable characters. She truly desires for her readers to dig deep within themselves to expose the sort of moral questions that ultimately a faith in God can answer. She hopes that through her writing the audience will not only unearth their own bravery, but know that while evil exists in our world, good will conquer in the end. Her passion for her readers is evident in each sentence she crafts.”
~Lauren Brandenburg, Author of the Boone Series, MG Fantasy

“Ending Fear is an engrossing, thrilling read! From the first sentence, the reader is plunged into Fear’s world. Add this dystopian novel to your library because Deanna Fugett is a bold new voice in speculative fiction.”
~J.M. Hackman, Author of Spark

And don’t forget Ending Fear’s fabulous release party! We’ve had to extend this Facebook party 30 extra minutes because we had so many prizes to give away.

So now the party is from 7 to 9:30 PM MST.

We are pleased to announce we will be taking submissions at Realm Makers this year!

The conference boasts an incredible lineup of sessions and industry professionals, including Ted Dekker as the keynote speaker.

This also happens to be one of our favorite writers’ conferences, simply because it caters to authors of speculative fiction. What’s not to love? You have to check out this incredible conference.

Do you have a completed manuscript?

Acquisitions Editor Michele Israel Harper and Editorial Assistant Jebraun Clifford will be taking pitches and proposals.

What are we looking for?

Visit the submissions page to find out!

And sign up for a pitch session here.

Also, two of our titles, Rebirth and Zombie Takeover, are finalists for the 2017 Excellence in Editing Award! The winner will be announced at the SoCal Christian Writers’ Conference June 22–24 at Biola University in La Mirada, California and again at Realm Makers.

See the announcement here.

Congratulations Amy Brock McNew and Michele Israel Harper!

Both conferences have incredible sessions, stellar faculty, and keynote speakers you do not want to miss. We cannot recommend SoCal Christian Writers’ Conference and Realm Makers highly enough.

See you there?
