![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They rallied the populace to take charge of their communities, while simultaneously putting the detached politicians in check. In Children of the Knight, Lance and Arthur created a New Camelot of Knights in Los Angeles by using might for right. When the children rise, will the city fall? Despite these uncertainties, Lance readily accepts the position of First Knight-youth leader of Arthur’s new army-thereby setting in motion a crusade of tsunami proportions. And he wants to believe in Arthur, but doubts even a king can accomplish such lofty goals. He’s spent his entire life in and out of the system, and it sucks. He plans to collect other cast-off kids like Lance-even teen gang members-and create a New Camelot of Knights to gain more rights for youth and shake up the out-of-touch politicians who run Los Angeles. Turns out this Arthur guy wants to start some kind of revolution. Swords, daggers, bows and arrows-the kind Lance has only seen in movies. But this “king” not only reeks of sincerity, he wears armor, rides a gorgeous white horse, and lives in the storm drains underneath the city! Arthur has a throne, old-school clothes, and weapons up the wazoo. Lance has met lots of weirdos on the streets of L.A., and they claim to be many things. For starters, his savior claims to be King Arthur, the once and future ruler of ancient Britain. When 14-year-old Lance is saved from death, his life is forever changed. ![]()
