The Final Paladin

Life for Peg Bowman is rough in the infamous slums of Five Points, New York, but her brother\u27s murder changes everything. Thrust into incredible worlds beyond any story she\u27s ever heard, Peg meets Sir Godfrey, an eleven-hundred-year-old knight from Charlemagne\u27s court, trainer of Paladins. He reveals to Peg her family\u27s ancient obligation to protect the Key of Apollyon, a relic of immense power. She is the last descendant of the Paladins and his only hope for keeping it safe.When Godfrey confides her brother was murdered because of the Key, Peg rejects her calling and demands revenge, a luxury she can ill afford as otherworldly creatures seek her death to claim the key\u27s power for themselves. Can Godfrey and his faithful retinue--Chim the Hobgoblin, Rebecca the Jewish maven and healer, and Jack the sometimes human and sometimes seven-foot black dog--keep her safe and convince her that her calling is worth pursuing? Or will she succumb to the key\u27s lure and wield it for revenge?https://cornerstone.lib.mnsu.edu/university-archives-msu-authors/1076/thumbnail.jp
