TIME
is Relative
for
a
KNIGHT
of
Time
by
Meet Rolland Wright -
a seventeen year old orphan living out of his car in rural Woodland Hills,
California. Aside from grappling with the fact of being abandoned by his
drunken father two years previous following his mothers mysterious murder, his
life mostly revolves around finding a warm place to sleep at night.
When one day he is attacked by men claiming to have killed his father, Rolland discovers a strange ability to slow the flow of time around him, beginning a journey that takes him to places outside of time, space, and eventually to the early 19th century to fight the sinister General Andrew Jackson. With the help of a rag-tag group of historical and mythical figures with various supernatural abilities of their own (Joan of Arc, Jesse James, etc) known as the Knights of Time, Rolland solves the mystery behind his mother's murder, falls in love, battles the evil Edward Vilthe - reaper of souls, and finds a home of his own in the paradise known as Eden.

Excerpt
It was a muggy, humid morning when U.S. General Andrew
Jackson woke to the sound of tribal horns. Immediately identifying their
purpose, he quickly gathered both his wits and his pants, grabbing his sword
and sidearm as he left his tent.
Known to be tough as hickory, Andrew Jackson was a
moderately tall man for his time, standing at six feet, one inch. In this and
in his military rank he was often compared to George Washington among elite
society in Boston, Washington, and New York, despite his humble beginnings.
Jackson’s rigid demeanor was only matched by his sharp
attention to detail. His crisply, pressed uniform was such that it demanded the
attention of all the company’s men. Each stood at full attention, showing
perfect respect for their commanding officer as Jackson made his way through
the columns slowly, careful to catch each and every pair of eyes.
“Today we fight like dogs, and live like kings!” Jackson
roared to his men, who cheered loudly in response. Their gusto and appreciation
for their General’s bravery in the face of danger was not unnoticed by his
adversaries on and off the battlefield.
A slave, brought directly from Africa on Jackson’s orders,
walked Jackson’s horse to him around the hustle and bustle of preparing for the
day’s campaign. A light rain began to fall on the heads and shoulders of every
soul under the barely visible sun, uniting them in nature. They all felt the
soft droplets as they landed on both white and brown skin alike. Lightning
struck diagonally across the gray sky, followed shortly by an
attention-stealing clap of thunder that rocked the previously dry Florida
landscape.
