BACK COVER BLURB FOR KNIGHT BLINDNESS
Ready for battle, Medieval English knight, Stephen Palmer,
charges into the French enemy’s cavalry line. Heeding a warning given months
before, he hesitates as he comes face-to-face with the knight in the warning.
Struck down in the year 1356, he finds himself landing in the year 2013.
Grievously wounded, he’s taken to a nearby hospital. Confused by the new world
surrounding him, he attempts to convince the staff he’s from another time, only
to find they think him mad.
Rescued by friends, who, to his surprise, have also come
through time, he must find a way to function in this odd modern England. He is
quickly enchanted by the kind Esme Crippen, the young woman hired to tutor him.
She too is enchanted by him. Tempted to deepen the relationship, she hesitates
thinking him adorable, but mad. He must discover the means for getting her to
believe the truth, all the while, unknown to him, he didn’t come forward in
time alone. The enemy knight has also traveled to 2013.
French noble, Roger Marchand, doesn’t question why the
English knight who charged him hesitated. That fraction of a pause gave him the
advantage needed and he brought his sword down upon the Englishman’s helmet
hard, unhorsing the knight. He moved to finish the Englishman off when the
world changed in a rush of sensations as he is ripped through time.
Seeking a reason for the terrible event, he enters a nearby
chapel. There, thinking God has chosen him for a quest to turn French defeat
that day in 1356 to victory, he sets out to find the English knight. The man he
is convinced holds the key to time. If he returns to the day of the battle, he
can warn his king of mistakes that snatched victory from them.
