Coming of age is never easy. It is especially difficult for young Thomas, son of an acclaimed and beloved knight. He has more questions than answers about the past. No one wants to tell him the circumstances surrounding the death of his mother and sister, the mysterious summons his father receives from the King of Noruff, and the mournful sounds that drift down from the mountains beyond Tangled Woods. When the kingdom of Noruff is threatened from a dark Prince of a southern kingdom and an ancient dragon from the north, Thomas must find a way to protect all that he loves. "Although this book is a tale of a kingdom long asleep, Judy Hensley covers many issues relevant to our modern world, and the way we interact with our fellow man and nature. It is a window to a world that might have been, and a young man's journey to find his place in it. This is a wonderful story - a literary journey that stirs the imagination!" - Barry Shainbaum - international photographer, professional speaker, radio talk show host, and author of Hope and Heroes: Portraits of Integrity and Inspiration."I am amazed at Sir Thomas the Eggslayer. The book is a true work of fiction in the classic tradition. There were times when the writing is so vivid that I felt the author must have had some kind of out of body experience that transported her back in time and place. I enjoyed it thoroughly." - Earl Hamner, Jr. - Acclaimed author of Fifty Roads to Town; Spencer's Mountain; Generous Women; and creator of the beloved television series The Walton, and many more literary works in book, film, and television.
