The Natanleods, the tale of a magickal family in a strange and magickal world, is set in the time after Camelot. Concealed behind a cloud of mist that surrounds their Land, they rule over a usually peaceful people. The story continues as they struggle to eliminate their ancient enemy from the Land, once and for all. A Summer Tournament of Skills is proposed, so as to assess the readiness of the Army. Artos continues to learn, guided by wise and experienced teachers. Erinn's abilities begin to match his father's as they train together, but the High Lord finds himself restless.

I hope you will all enjoy this tale, a spin off from "The Black Knight of Avalon Chronicles." In that series, I introduce Diredra, a talented Swordmaine who has spent her life achieving near perfection in the warrior arts. Her tale starts as she finishes a long journey up into the mountains of Italia, a journey that begins in Damascus, the City of Steel. Her father has brought her such a long way to escape danger, and to find the teaching his talented daughter needs to protect herself in the world of men. I offer this first installment of her tale, and I hope you will enjoy reading about her...
