The Gray Paladin - Davidson Garet
The Paladin Order once protected mankind. Half a century ago Ildradath, the Adjuror of the Order, led a crusade into the Abyss to destroy a powerful artifact needed to awaken the Dread One. Now the lone survivor of that crusade wastes away in a tower in grief-stricken isolation and wounded faith.
When Lilium's family caravan is attacked by a creature of the Abyss while fleeing to the Western Heights, she finds herself alone, cowering and praying to be rescued by the very man who believes his own prayers go unanswered.
The Old Ones and their cultists are busy fulfilling the Dread One's schemes, and they will not stop until the world is under his control and madness and ruin consume everything. The beneficent Divines, with unseen hands at work, know a quest to confront these horrors must be undertaken and that the fate of mankind will depend on a miracle.
Can those who have lost everything find reason to hope? Can faith be enough against the machinations of the dark powers, or will the tides of the Abyss forever spill into the world?
This is a fantasy adventure novel with horror elements, heroism, a paladin, a young female protagonist, and a very special horse. It takes H.P. Lovecraft inspiration and cosmic despair and blends these with faith elements and magic to create a compelling universe in which hope and horror are continually at odds.
