Sir Joseph of Brockhurst, C. O. L., Major (Retired) of His Majesty's Armed Forces. All my friends call me Joe...

Joseph was successful in war but lonely in love until he saw the lovely Fiona. He counted her transforming love as his greatest victory and her wedding vow as his greatest possession.

Then Sir Joseph had everything he loved swept away by a terrible storm, but he lost everything he believed in more slowly but just as painfully. It would take a miracle to give him back his faith, and that's exactly what he got. Problem is, miracles don't always appear the way you expect them to. Sometimes they look like a meek badger and a needy boy.

As a veteran of the Third Calormene War, Sir Joseph knew what to expect when he blazed a path across the Central Desert, yet he found he still had a lot to learn about life and death. Perhaps you will learn something too by reading his story in Swept Away.
