Fascinating and sublime, The Legend of Albion by Joseph Randell Sherman is an incredibly touching epic tale of a king’s love for his son, and a knight’s courage in his coat. A story told in poetic form, the author’s language revels in a sanguine loneliness and a bittersweet sense of humanity.

Excerpt
The castle fortress was being stormed,
The King felt all was forsaken,
He sent forth word to his most trusted knight
For a mission to be undertaken.
You see the King had a newborn son,
His one and only heir to the throne.
Thru secret passage, knight and child would go,
Then into the forest and to a safe home.
The King set the Royal Signet
Upon his child's breast
Then he bid his only son farewell
With tears and with a kiss.
