Zeld has never done anything grand with his life, like fighting a dragon or riding on a cloud to save the king. In an age of magic and mystical creatures his life is about to change. You see, Zeld's father was murdered and his family forced into exile. Now that he is of age, he will be returning to his homeland and enrolling in the Castles and Caverns School of Knighthood.

The Hess family, who murdered Zeld's father and captured the de Saxon castle, has long awaited Zeld's return and are only too glad to greet him with innocent smiles on their faces and sharpened daggers behind their backs.

Will the rules of chivalry protect him long enough to be able to reclaim his birthright? Will he be able to rebuild the de Saxon alliance? Or will his family be destroyed before he has begun his valiant quest?

About the Author.

First of all let me apologize for the fifty years war, the hundred years war and the Irish potato famine, all of which are entirely my fault! Second, I want everyone to know that I did not start the crusades, but I was a youngster at the time, under 200, and naturally being so young I made my share of mistakes.

Let me explain, my name isn't really J.D. Raisor. In fact, I am Zeldain de Saxon born June 11th 1215. I had a slight mishap and accidentally swallowed my dragon heart amulet. This of course began an irreversible extension of my life for 1000 years. Castles and Caverns is the story of my boyhood.

One morning we arrived for work at Shumway Publishing and found the manuscript for Castles and Caverns Zeld and the Invaders lying just inside the door. How it found its way inside the door is still a mystery. The manuscript had the preceding note attached and we thought under the circumstances we should share it with our readers. Actually, J.D. Raisor is a rather normal guy except when you ask him a history question, then he seems to know way too much!
