Explore The Circle Saga
The Circle Saga reimagines Arthurian legend through a distinctive perspective. Set far from courts and crowns, the series places timeless ideals in familiar landscapes where duty is learned through repetition, service, and care. Beginning with The Boy Who Dreamed of Camelot and continuing through The Circle Between Worlds and The Weight of Names, the saga follows an expanding journey where knighthood is not granted but practiced.
The Boy Who Dreamed Of Camelot
On a quiet farm in rural Kentucky, twelve-year-old Sam Parker discovers a sealed stone well that refuses to stay forgotten. What begins as curiosity leads him into Camelot, not as a place of glory, but as a system that demands attention, discipline, and restraint. In this reimagining, Camelot runs on effort rather than pageantry. Training replaces prophecy. Care replaces conquest. Sam’s journey asks what leadership means when it is stripped of ceremony and tested through routine labor and moral pressure.
The novel reimagines Arthurian legend as a story of service, in which small decisions shape character long before great acts are possible.
The Circle Between Worlds
Back in rural Kentucky, fifteen-year-old Sam Parker discovers that the boundary between Camelot and home has begun to disappear. The lessons once learned in a distant kingdom now face their greatest test as familiar places become part of a much larger struggle.
The story broadens the series beyond one world, examining how service, community, and steadfastness endure when fear reaches ordinary lives. As the Circle grows, true knighthood is measured not by legend, but by the courage to stand together when it matters most.
The Weight of Names
Sam Parker is no longer known only as a boy. His words, choices, and reputation have become something larger, forcing him to confront what happens when people reshape an idea into something he never intended.
This installment explores the burden of influence, the value of individual judgment, and the cost of surrendering conviction to certainty. As the Circle changes around him, Sam must decide whether leadership means preserving a legacy or protecting the humanity that inspired it.
