Produktbeschreibung
The paladins of Edwin the Great begins with the quiet life of three young boys enjoying carefree days in the countryside, surrounded by family and the comforts of home. Their world is defined by games, exploration, and the bonds of companionship. This peaceful existence is disrupted when they witness something unnatural in the nearby waters, an event that awakens their curiosity and fear. Drawn by a sense of mystery and a desire for adventure, they make a fateful decision that leads to their capture by sea-thieves. As they are torn from the familiar and thrust into an unfamiliar and dangerous world, their understanding of loyalty, courage, and survival is tested. The narrative, set during a time of rising kingdoms and shifting allegiances in early England, explores the transition from innocence to experience. Through hardship and peril, the young protagonists must rely on trust, endurance, and the strength of their shared purpose to confront the harsh realities around them. Their story becomes one of transformation, mirroring a land struggling to define its identity amid conflict and legend.
Autorenporträt
Clements Robert Markham was born on 20 July 1830 in Stillingfleet, United Kingdom, to David Frederick Markham. His early life was shaped by a strong family heritage, with grandparents Elizabeth Bowles and William Markham, and great-grandparents including Sarah Goddard, Mary Elton, and Oldfield Bowles. Markham developed a deep interest in exploration and geography, which led to a distinguished career in those fields. He became a fellow of several learned societies and served as secretary of the Royal Geographical Society from 1863 to 1888, later becoming its president for twelve years. Markham s influence extended into British polar exploration, where he played a key role in promoting Antarctic expeditions and encouraging the development of young naval officers. A prolific writer, he produced numerous historical and geographical works, combining scholarship with vivid narrative. His literary output included translations, biographies, and historical novels, many reflecting his broad intellectual interests. In 1857, he married Minna Chichester. He died on 30 January 1916 in London at the age of 85, leaving behind a legacy that intertwined discovery, national service, and historical inquiry.
