Knights of Arrethtrae- Sir Quinlan and the Swords of Valor

This book, the 5th in the Knights of Arrethtrae series, is my favorite and has encouraged me immensely.

Sir Quinlan begins the story going by his nickname, Twitch, because of a tick in his cheek that sets off whenever he is nervous about something. He struggles with self-confidence and self-pity and feels that everyone else is better than him and he can never aspire to anything greater. But events that unfold bring him to a place that Quinlan must begin claiming who he is. With the help of a Silent Warrior, Taras, he begins to better his skills at arms and his self-confidence builds. Eventually he is tested and tried until he becomes the leader of the elite group of knights, The Swords of Valor, to fight against the growing evil in Arrethtrae.

Here is my favorite quote..."When you believe the truth about who you are in the Prince, you will be that which you want to become. You cannot add anything to that which the Prince made perfect. All you can do is believe Him who made it so." ~Taras 

If they were to make a movie of this book, that would be awesome, especially if they kept to the storyline of the book without adding any Hollywood junk... 

I think Wes Brown would make an awesome Quinlan...



And I think Winona Ryder  would make a great Lilam...
