Rumors of a fearful figure roaming the countryside and villages have reached King Stephen and his Council. Now the king wants to know the truth of the matter-is this "Dark Knight," as he has been dubbed, simply an old wives' tale as some declare, or is he real and a threat to the people the king has vowed to protect? Sir Noble Heart and his friend Sir Michael are appointed to either track down the villain and capture him, or prove that he is nothing but a fable. They pursue every lead, but time and again, it seems, they are too late and the Dark Knight has slipped from their grasp once more. A chance meeting in the dark does solve part of the puzzle, however-the evil knight is after none other than Sir Noble and the king himself!
The hunters become the hunted. Everyone connected to Noble and the king is in great peril, as well. Unknown to Noble and the royal party, terrible danger has followed them to what should be the most peaceful place of all-his country home. The Dark Knight strikes, luring his prey into his fiendish plot, and determined to wreak his revenge against those he perceives have done him wrong. All looks lost until Sir Noble desperately risks everything for his friends-with a little help from unexpected sources!
The third volume in the Noble Heart series, Shadow of the Dark Knight, is a story of fearless valor, faithful devotion and heroism. Sir Noble Heart, the youngest member of the King's Guard, has become renowned in the kingdom as a young man of integrity and courage. Is it any wonder, then, that he holds the respect, trust and admiration of the king? Noble, however, is often unsure of himself-but he is sure of God! Noble's journey to maturity continues throughout the series of books as he seeks to follow and trust God through every test and trial that comes his way. The stories are not only entertaining and exciting, full of adventure and mystery-but they are encouraging, as well, meant to inspire and influence young people in their own life journeys.
Parents can expect good, wholesome literature in the Noble Heart series-upholding godly values without excessive violence, bad language, the occult, immoral conduct or disobedience to authority. Whether read alone or as a family, these books will uplift and nurture all.
