The Sword, the Ring & the Parchment, The Terrestria Chronicles, Ed Dunlop,

Travel back in time to a land where royalty lives, castles rise, and dragons roam. Terrestria is the realm of good King Emmanuel, but the country is torn. The evil warlord Argamor wants the throne, and he has loyal followers placed strategically throughout the kingdom. When Josiah, one of Argamor slaves, fails in his attempt to escape, King Emmanuel not only sets him free forever, but adopts him into the Royal Family. How will this affect the war? And why has young Josiah been chosen to be a royal prince? A good read for ages 11 and up.
