Gib Taylor, known lifetimes ago as Roland, is the leader of the Paladin; a remnant of the knights that served during Charlemagne's reign. They walk among us today, hidden in plain sight, fighting the evil and dangerous entities of other realms that threaten to enslave and destroy us all. Gib awakens from a coma that he learns is actually a terrible curse placed on him by a mage over a thousand years ago. The Oblivisens Mors, causes a loss of memory and coma, which is inconvenient at the very least when you're trying to save the world. The Paladin are sworn to fight on until death by the sword...

This is the story of how our intrepid hero lost his greatest love after he and his kinsmen suffered defeat by treachery at Battle of Roncevaux Pass. We will never know what transpired in those brutal hours high in the Pyrenees mountains except that men were changed. Men were killed. Most of what happened in this work is speculation upon the authors part. Some is recorded in the Chansons de Geste, which later gained in popularity and eventually fell into use primarily as propaganda. Some is recorded history. The monuments are still there today.
