The Knight of Hibernia

About the Book

Arriving on a distant shore, guided only by a mysterious book he found of a dead man, Dar LaCross journeys to join the famed Knights of Hibernia. But he soon finds that things are not how he expects as he clings to a knightly code of honor obsolete in the world he encounters. A young woman, Fayette, on a mission for the Duchess of the Eamhain, finds herself in midst of an invasion. Fayette convinces Dar to help her cross the wilds of the Marche to reach Eamhain before it is too late. Hunted by the invaders, Dar and Fayette must use their wit and skill to cross the wilderness of an untamed world. As they learn to work together, bandits, witches, invaders, and the creatures of the deep forest stand between them and the castle at Eamhain many miles away. Searching for a way through the wilderness, Dar and Fayette discover the means to reach their goal in each other. As they race against time, they must reach the Duchess and warn her before the next attack.

About the Author

Living in Ithaca New York, and having hiked across the United States in his early life, J. Scott Witty became rooted in ideas rather than places. With a fascination for words, the writing process became second nature at a young age. Using his rampant imagination, Witty creates new worlds in his writing with a strong focus and preoccupation on character building. During his thirty-five year tenure as a small business owner and manager, Witty developed a strong passion for storytelling and became a game master. Poetry, music, and fantasy art became the author’s food-for-thought. His actual experiences, journeys, and adventures fuel his unwavering creative story and it is from here that the writing launches. Out of his love of world history and study for many years, Witty became a certified teacher. Witty views history through the lens of myth, legend and wonder. It is with this magic that he enjoys expressing the ideal that anything in life is possible. The struggle to answer the mystery of man’s own potential how it can easily go awry drives his writing. When not writing, Jeffrey enjoys time with his partner and children, and a host of pets. His hobbies include role-playing and tabletop gaming and he is consistently involved with how to make a difference with today’s environmental challenges.
