Winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award for Christian Fiction! Pirates infest the seas, knights battle for conquest and glory, dragons rule the wild places, werewolves haunt the forests, and darker things prowl the edges of civilization. In the gap stands the Order of the Centurion, a Christian military order dedicated to protecting the innocent and the oppressed. It is 946 A.D., and threats, both human and monstrous, loom over the kingdoms of Europe. Portia is the daughter of the Count of Carinthia and a young warrior-in-training set on becoming a Centurion shieldmaiden. Her path takes a dramatic detour when she meets Brendan, a young thief of "unusual talents" who is hungry to avenge the family he lost. The two find themselves caught in the web of a dragon's plot while racing to stop a massive invasion from the east and head off the marriage plans of a power-hungry Duke. Portia must learn to trust herself, while Brendan must learn to trust God before their home is laid waste. Their courage and faith are pushed to the limits as they struggle to overcome their differences and save her people.

"Who needs time machines when books like The Centurions get you so absorbed in a different age it's like you're actually there? … The combination of key teachings of Christianity and a captivating, well-told story is brilliantly executed. The first book in The Centurions series has completely won me over, and I am very much looking forward to reading subsequent books in the series." Faluso Falaye – Reader's Choice 3rd Edition
