    About this ebook

    This is a companion novella to the Sacred Knight series. It is meant to be read between books 3 and 4.

    "To the outside world, we seemed like the perfect family. A mother and father swinging their young daughter between them, all of us smiling and laughing as we headed to Cliff Park in Dubinshire for the Springsday Festival. 

    My father was a great dominus, a noble swordsman. Until that last battle which had left him crippled, he'd fought in many battles for the Temple, defending the Goddess from naysayers. My mother and I were both so proud of him.

    Or I thought we were..

    My parents kept careful secrets hidden from the world behind well-chosen lies.

    I had the best schooling and was lined up to become a Temple historian. It suited my intellect and penmanship. Little did I know that I had the biggest piece of history right in front of me..."

    Annae Bytherhourn's life changes when she discovers her father is really a stranger. No, he is more than that. History says he's a thief, conspirator, traitor, and killer. He has manipulated her life to position her in as much danger as he would be in if the world found out he was still alive. But can she overcome her own personal anger leave the unbiased account of a life that needs to be remembered for a thousand years?

    History of a Dead Man chronicles the missing forty or so years in the life of Saint Steigan as told by the daughter he raised. Only she knows the true story of a man who had to make hard decisions to carry on a difficult mission and become a champion. 

    NOTE TO READERS: This novella takes place after To Birth a Destiny (book 3 in the Sacred Knight series). New readers are welcome to start here at their own risk of spoilers -- just consider it a sample of the Sacred Knight world and come try it out.

    Dawn Blair

    Come take an adventure with your multi-dimensional, time-traveling tour guide, Dawn Blair. Telling stories of noble hearts and fantastic places, Dawn enjoys creating stories full of action, fantasy, quests, and maybe a touch of technology.  For as long as she can remember, she's been telling stories, starting with tales of cats and dogs. No one ever dared to ask her to "imagine" something because it would send her creativity spinning. One fateful day, her grandmother, certainly tired of listening to the endless prater, sat Dawn down at a typewriter and told her to write the story out.  Growing up on a ranch in rural Nevada, she had plenty of time and space to let her imagination roam free. When she wasn't out playing or working in the alfalfa fields or swimming at the pool, she was at home typing away at her novels.  Dawn moved to Idaho and, after a second fateful day where an instructor taught her to see as an artist, her life expanded to include other creative endeavors: painting, illustrating, animating, and photography in addition to writing. They all became mediums for the way she could share stories. Soon, she had won numerous awards for writing, painting, and photography, as well as gaining readers and collectors worldwide. All while raising her two fantastic boys as a single mom.  Dawn decided to start recording audiobooks. Knowing nothing about the process, she began learning and transformed a simple home setup into a home studio, a sequence marked by a third fateful day in her life when she decided to quit dabbling and get serious. Dawn aims for improving her audio with each narrative tale she completes. Still in Idaho, Dawn spends every moment she can exploring strange worlds, seeking out brave lives and magical civilizations. She wants to touch your life with magic, open your mind, and make sure you will never be the same again. Let her show you the sights. Let's be on our way, shall we?
