Before the rise to dominance of Western Europe, there was a pivotal time in history when the world was consumed by the epic struggle between the Islamic Empire of the Ottomans and the Christian Kingdoms of Eastern Europe. Two civilizations and two very different ways of life confronted each other with the fate of mankind yet to be decided. THE SWORD AND THE SHIELD OF THE REALM debuts MERCHANTS OF TIME A seven-novel tale of mystery and suspenseful adventure, during an epoch marked by turbulence and mayhem. The year is 1448. Transylvania and Wallachia, the sword and the shield of the Kingdom of Hungary, are invaded by an immense army under the banner of Sultan Murad II, the man who calls himself The Shadow of Allah upon the World. Lorian Comosicus, the heir to a mysterious Draconic ring, and his twelve-year-old brother, Silvan, are sent across the border mountains to the fortress of Roter Turm with a secret message from the conspirators who killed Vlad Dracul of Wallachia for pledging allegiance to the Ottoman Empire. Lost in the vast forests of Transylvania, they meet Sir Gregor Dahr Altair, an imperial knight who just escaped from Roter Turm before the Ottomans destroyed it. Gregor is an Excubitor, a powerful secretive fraternity who could change the outcome of the war.

Chris has always known his life was different. No one else his age lives in an antiques shop, for one thing, and he's been trained to pay attention to every detail he sees, able to discover a person's life story in the setting of their watch or the tread of their shoes. For someone with an almost photographic memory, all this makes him more than a little unusual. But even he is surprised by the turn his life takes when his grandfather hurries him from home and drops him at the airport with a flight to London, leaving him little direction besides the tantalizing revelation that his life is much more than he thought it was. That he was born into a secret society of Finders and Keepers-people who reclaim lost artifacts and return them to their rightful owners, for a price. As soon as he lands, Chris is joined by a team of Finders whose one goal is to locate the most legendary artifact in history before it's used to overthrow the monarchy. An artifact most people don't even believe exists. They're looking for Excalibur, and Chris is the only person in the world who can lead them to it.
