Follow on Google News | New Fantasy Novel 'The Unremarkable Squire' by Nick Hayden to be Published this WinterBarking Rain Press announced the acquisition of the worldwide print and electronic publishing rights for the Fantasy novel "The Unremarkable Squire" from author Nick Hayden of Kendallville, Indiana.
By: Barking Rain Press A squire’s oath is to be of service… but to whom? In the kingdom of Basileon, an unremarkable and emotionally detached young man named Obed Kainos is about to stumble into adventure—quite against his will. When the knights of the realm gather in a quest to search for the lost Armor of Arkelon, Obed is chosen at random to replace Sir Lance Valentino’s recently deceased squire. But while trying to perform his menial tasks faithfully, the young squire becomes entangled in the plots of mages, thieves, and kings. And that’s just his first week on the job. Unfortunately for Obed, his indifference cannot save him from his new oath. For despite his enigmatic personality (or perhaps because of it), he manages to attract a band of misfits to his cause— the ugly, the arrogant, the clumsy, and the cowardly—putting the legendary armor within the grasp of one who never wanted anything at all.… Publication for both the print and eBook formats of “The Unremarkable Squire” is scheduled for December 2012. Interested readers can preview the first four chapters for free by visiting the Barking Rain Press website at barkingrainpress.org.
