This story is guaranteed to captivate your imagination as it helps you discover the secret of what is most important in life. It’s a delightful tale of a desperate knight in search of his true self.
Join him as he faces a life–changing dilemma upon discovering that he is trapped in his armor, just as we may be trapped in our armor—an invisible one we put on to protect ourselves from others and from various aspects of life.
As the knight searches for a way to free himself, he receives guidance from the wise sage Merlin the Magician, who encourages him to embark on the most difficult crusade of his life. The knight takes up the challenge and travels the Path of Truth, where he meets his real self for the first time and confronts the Universal Truths that govern his life–and ours.

This powerful story by bestselling author Marcia Grad Powers promises to be one of the most important you will ever read–and one of the most memorable.
Sometimes things happen we wish hadn’t. Sometimes things don’t happen we wish would. We might wish our past has been different or that we could be different. We struggle through disappointments…frustrations…losses…and more. We do the best we can and hope things get better. In the meantime, our hearts can grow heavy.
That’s what happened to Duke the Dragon Slayer. In fact, his heart grew so heavy with all that he felt was unfair and not the way it should be, he became desperate to lighten it–and set forth on the Path of Serenity to find out how.
Guided by fascinating characters that spring to life and become his personal friends, Duke finds out the secret to being okay even when things aren’t okay.
Accompany Duke on this life–changing adventure. His guides will be your guides. His tools will be your tools. His success will be your success. And by the time he is heading home, both Duke and you will know how to take life’s inevitable lumps and bumps in stride–and find happiness and serenity anytime…even when you really, REALLY wish some things were different.
