Throughout his life it seemed to him that his body and mind were meant to fight with a sword. During his youth, Rowan was a naive thrill seeker with a love for watching the tournaments of knights. When he was old enough to fight in the tournaments himself he gladly participated in them. Soon out of his own skill, he becomes arrogant and self centred person. This would eventually lead to his downfall. This book takes place in the kingdom of Arrethtrae as well as all the other books in this series. In Arrethtrae there a northern region known as the united cities of Cameria. Cameria is a foressted area with mountains on the east and a valley to the west. This region contains five cities, Elttaes, Aimon, Berwick, Kroywen, the capital, and Laos where most of the story takes place. The time period of Sir Rowan as well as the other books is during the medieval ages. I connected to this book because of the theme. I love knight's, adventures and all kinds of swords.

There are many other things that represent biblical

What they lean on is their talent being developed at an early age, and the challenge they have to undergo is truly valid to enter the general music scene.

Throughout Unit 1, the stories have had a similar story line, which greed and power trumps doing what is right. Christopher Columbus found new land and stripped from those who rightfully owned it, slave traders ripped Equiano from his home to make money off of him, and Salem citizens accused honorable people of witchcraft for personal gain.
