Knightwatchers Legacy - The Fifth Book
To my dear, sweet, ever-mindful readers, if you were looking to find a quick summary of a fun-filled adventure with action and quirky dialog --- then it fills me with great sadness to say that you've found the wrong story. True, this book has all those things, but with a particularly guarded lesson. For this my dear assuming reader, is a lesson in tolerance. As the last adventure left off, our young heroes' greatest threat was not a threat at all, but a link to ones past. As I've always said, never judge a book by its cover... or in this case, online synopsis. Thus as ones story ends, another's begins. KnightWatchers: Legacy takes you back through the memories of the one in the series who has always been known as the "quiet one." It tells the story of Flash as he harkens back to a time when he was "Flahs'bextris Flutia," revealing his mysterious past on the ill-fated home-world of Neutronia where he befriends the plucky Betaqui Osyrus, longtime friend and companion, and also takes on his rite of passage, becoming one with the light, "Chin'Wendu," only days before Neutronia's destruction. Through the eyes of his friends, you'll unravel the secrets of how he comes to Tecmonian Institute and is introduced to Princess Alayna, Ace and BZ, and reveals how Flash first became an outsider, and takes on the name of the minority where he suffers discrimination for his powers and faces prejudice in its darkest form. Will he choose to stay on? Could this be Flash's final chapter as guardian of Tecmonian Institute, or will this only be the beginning of his tale as a hero? 'Legacy' illustrates the lessons that we all have faced when young: whether it's to accept our responsibilities, to take on or dismiss stereotypes, or the struggles of ones identity and fitting the norm.
