LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author Vasilios D'Million invites readers to explore the ideals of chivalry through medieval tales of honor and dedication in his new book, "Knighthood & Its Challenges: The Order of Excalibur." Set against the backdrop of 9th century East Anglia, the story follows the Duke of Cnobheresburg as he strives to protect his family and territory from threats, while grappling with his faith in God amidst a realm wrestling with pagan traditions.
"Knighthood & its Challenges," intertwines the struggles of loyalty to God, family and country, echoing the trials faced by the Chevaliers of old, the armored horse-soldiers akin to the Knights Templar. With characters like the valiant Duke, his steadfast Duchess and their ambitious children, D'Million aims to blend adventure and romance within a story that reflects the principles of Christianity.
"I wrote this book to remind readers that the essence of chivalry--honor, duty and faith-- transcends time and remains relevant in the pursuit of integrity today," D'Million said. "Engaging with stimulating readings can enhance our awareness of the past, live in the present and plan for the future."
Drawing inspiration from medieval history, particularly the Chevaliers, D'Million wants to illustrate the code of conduct that every aspiring knight must follow. He aims to highlight the integrity required to uphold the vows that defined the Knights Templar.
D'Million seeks to engage readers with a mix of adventure, historical melodrama and immersive depiction of medieval life. Through focusing on one family's fight for safety and survival, the novel offers insights into the challenges faced by humanity, emphasizing themes of honor and resilience.
