From the Author:

My family tree is drawn like a real tree with the great medieval king, Charlemagne, in the trunk, his earliest ancestors below ground in the roots, and my name and birth date 4 feet up, on the topmost branch. "Destiny's Godchild" is my explanation of why the Carolingians would even think to try to take the crown of the Franks from the royal Merovingians. After all, everyone knew the Merovingians were descended from a sea serpent, and no mere mortal could hope to prevail over a family with such an origin. This isn't quite Harry Potter meets Braveheart, but it does have magic and a real, honest to God, human hero.

From the Back Cover:

"...your life will change the course of Frankish history." So saying, the Master sends Young Egar-the-Magician to seek his destiny. Egar can earn his living with the harp music, juggling, and sleight-of-hand taught him by the Master. But change history? How could that come to pass?

Entertaining in the royal palace in Paris, Egar meets Pepin de Vain, nobleman and tutor to the prince. Egar sees a vision of a great king yet to come. Pepin assumes he is to be that king--an assumption that will land both Pepin and Egar in serious trouble.
