I actually read Knight's Dawn first, though it came out after this book. To be honest I think I had an advantage doing it that way as I had a good background understanding of a lot of what the characters are talking about regarding the past. For those who jump into this book first you are really jumping into a storyline roughly 50 years after it started. This book covers the 2nd Alignment of three Alignment. It appears Knight's Dawn and the two as of May 2015 yet to be written books following it will cover the lead up and 1st Alignment. There is also a 3rd Alignment in the future, so there will inevitably be a sequel to this book (Tale of the Elder Knight), which is not as there are a few hanging plot threads at the end of this book.The setting is a roughly late medieval with magic, no gunpowder is mentioned, no fantasy races are mentioned, there are magic creatures (most mentioned are evil but a few good ones), and the religion is technically polythestic, but nearly everyone mentioned worships a nature Goddess or a Dark God. There are few magical weapons, a bunch of "blessed" weapons, and a few ancient artifacts. The magic is split between shadow, clerical, and wizardly. The later tend to require rituals and take a long time to cast. Shadow and Clerical magic require audio noise i.e. words of power/grunt or singing respectively.
Overall, the story was great and it really did build on a lot of what was written in the Knights Dawn (I think once the trilogy is finished I feel it will flow perfectly as I said above the prequel trilogy most likely will cover the time leading up to and the 1st Alignment). it was also great to see how certain characters played out over the decades. Melkar followed his mom's path, which is not surprising though I had a minor hope he would turn out better. However, since he never became Duke, I assumed he would be, I do not really mind him becoming the main villian. Belor went from a small kid that loved cheese and son of a Baron to the Duke (which worked out great). Maggie's (she is not in the book, but her daughter Anna is. NOTE: There is a side character named Maggie mentioned, but she is a grandchild or great grandchild of the original Maggie) son in law restored her family back too peerage becoming a Baron. Though, it is not mentioned if Anna even knew her mom (Maggie) was actually the daughter and heir of a Baron.
Other than some side mentions nothing came up about the Kingdom of the Mists and Galen's son who by now is probaly the King of that Kingdom now. I also, wonder what happened to Caspia? She was the most powerful nation 50 years ago, and is not even mentioned now other than the fact she exists. It is like she became isolationists, is in a civil war, or fell apart....

The Tale of the Elder Knight edition by Shane VanAulen Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Good story. Nicely written. Good characters. Needs some editing.
I loved this book full of action a litter mysterious, all in all a really good to read. One of the best things is it didn't have all that scenery stuff
This is a excellent adventure story. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment. Its fast paced, intricate sub-plots and keeps you guessing. The right touch of fantasy, magic, balance between good and evil in competing universes. An excellent read.
Good story line with a lot of action (and a lot of medical treatments poor KNIGHT). Sure wish the author got an editor or proof reader, that would make reading his books easier.
Forsooth, the Elder Knight has created a chain of events that affects the lives of many generations. Not just humans but wizards, shadow gates, earth mothers, weavers and water maidens... His "Lady Rose " sword cuts a swath through evil elements as you, the reader, are captured to finish the great book.
I was exhausted at the end, and anxious for the sequel
I enjoyed the reading, it is a very good story but it left me disappointed.. I rate it a four because it should have been a stand alone with the resolution of both Galen and Rose rather than a cliff hanger. Cliffhangers are the single reason I give up on books. I absolute strongly abhor them.
Mr Van Aulen wrote an excellent work set a world divided between the powers of light verses darkness using swords and magic.
Many years in the past the Elder Knight loved then lost his beloved to his brother. In seeking vengeance for the transgression he runs afoul of the powerful Earth Mother and is cursed to roam without a place of happiness or love.
Darkness arose leading to a hunt of the Royal family for the resulting dire evil magic. Can the knight earn his freedom, save the day and his world, this is the Tale of the Elder Knight.
