Description

Dirty, dangerous, pristine, and opulent - welcome to West Marque. The sun is slowly setting on the golden age of chivalry in West Marque. The kings are gone, replaced by Marshals. The 'knights of the realm' - the Fifth Wheel - no longer wear suits of armor or carry gilded swords. They wear badges and carry guns on their hips. Their old enemies, the Dead Priests, are ghosts of the past. John Gray, a member of the order of the Fifth Wheel, is hard on the heels of the nefarious gambler James Gallant. However, his pursuit is interrupted when unexplained orders arrive summoning him to Jonah's Sword for an Oath Swearing. That Call marks the dawn of a new conflict for the High Seat of West Marque, a conflict that threatens to awaken the ghosts of the past and mark the end of the Order of the Fifth Wheel.

Author Biography:

Richard Parkinson was born in Montreal and raised in southwestern Ontario. He wandered around the wilderness from job to job, taking the occasional university course. He played solider as a historical re-enactor, hit the stage as a wannabe rock star, tried his hand as a puppeteer running his own Punch & Judy show, and worked hard on his quest to become a renaissance man. The results were equal to Don Quixote's quest to revive chivalry and many of Richard's friends took on the role of the sensible Sancho Panza. On the side, he dabbled in homebrew RPG design with the enthusiasm of a medieval alchemist. Unfortunately, he often enjoyed the same results as the medieval alchemist, sometimes explosive and always realizing that base metals could not be turned to gold. He then fell into journalism. In May 2015, Richard saw an interesting fork in the road and decided to take it. He switched careers, and he left the newspaper industry to work in the trucking industry.
