Passage which inspires these books:
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed, and with your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints." Ephesians 6:10-18
Book One--The Belt of Truth. Introduces characters and theme. Children in medieval time are going to Knight School where their favorite teacher Sir Lucian is an inspiration as well as a bit of a mystery. The main characters, Robyn, a nine year old girl who is studying to be a dame, nine year old George and his younger brother Erik are a bit intimidated by Sir Crewe, the Head Knight. The children struggle with their own personal temptations to lying to save face and learn how to tell the truth in order to earn the Belt of Truth.
Book Two--Breastplate of Righteousness. George struggles with loyalty to a friend and doing what's right.
Book Three--Boots of Peace. As the children advance in virtue, they find themselves tested and trying to bring peace to others. But Sir Lucian helps them discover the meaning of true peace and where it must begin.
Book Four --Shield of Faith. The village is tested as rumors of destructive dragons in the area begin to be realized. The children have to assist in making preparations for protecting the people, led by Sir Lucian. Meanwhile, Sr. Crewe believes he has a better way to deal with the problem.
Book Five--Helmet of Salvation. As the threat of dragons materializes, George's friend Henry is looking out for his own future while George, Robyn and Erik work in various ways to assist the knights in helping the people. The tension between Sir Lucian and Sir Crewe increases, and
Nook Six -- Sword of the Spirit. As dragons enter the village area, the children learn the true meaning of the Sword of the Spirit and how to wield it in trust. The mystery about Sr. Lucian is revealed, and the children, much more spiritually mature than in the first book, look forward to continuing their advance into virtue.
