Description
In a land gripped by tyranny, a masked rebel stirs the embers of revolution. Assassins are not always the bad guys.
Cadmon has always been a loyal member of the King's Guard, shouldering the blame for serving the corrupt king of Abbarkon. But when he is ordered to perform yet another abomination, he can no longer stand idly by while innocent lives are destroyed.
Bent on fighting back, he vanishes into the wilderness to build a rebel army powerful enough to topple the reigning forces. However, in the peace of the remote village, the urgency to revolt fades. It takes the arrival of a young, masked warrior to prod him toward a perilous mission to assassinate the worst of the unscrupulous dukes.
Prepare to delve into the untold story of Cadmon's rebellion, where bravery is forged in the face of darkness and the line between right and wrong blurs. In this thrilling prequel, discover the origins of the Rebels of Halklyen and witness the birth of a legend.

Paula Baker wrote Rebels of Halklyen, The God Sword and The White Wolf, a middle grade fantasy trilogy, along with its prequel, Raptor's Call, with her son, Aidan Davies. Dirt Town is a standalone story set in a steampunk world powered by magic. Their latest release, Loftiest Intelligence, is the first in a new epic fantasy series.
She grew up on a farm in Manitoba where she spent as much time reading everything from Enid Blyton to Charles Dickens as she did building treehouses, playing her trumpet and riding her bike. After earning a Bachelor of Music Education from Brandon University and a Master's in Gifted Education from the University of North Texas, she worked as a band teacher and librarian for thirty-five years.
Her writing partnership with Aidan began on the first day of summer holidays after his grade nine year. Over time, they have developed a system where, after discussing the story, he outlines the chapters and she writes them. She lives in British Columbia with her husband, two kayaks, two sets of golf clubs, six bikes, eight pairs of skis and five trumpets.
