Sometimes its funny how fast things can change, and sometimes its not... Welcome to Albert Keanes beautifully designed medieval kingdom nestled in a completely isolated river valley in the Canadian wilderness. Peaceful, happy, and prosperous, it takes nothing from the modern world, not so much as a single clock. There is a castle, of course, and a monastery. There is even a pitch dark, rat-infested dungeon because you simply have to have one if you are trying a rule a feudal kingdom! Farmers work the land, artisans ply their trades, monks keep school and visit the sick, and nobody (well, almost nobody) misses the modern world at all. So why has Jack Darcey actor, wanderer, ex-competitive fencer been tricked and seduced into paying a visit? And why hasnt anyone told him that the only way to leave is a perilous trek across hundreds of miles of trackless wilderness without a compass or a map? Because a tide of fear and violence is rising from the twisted ambitions of one of King Alberts nobles, and Alberts fortune teller believes that Jack could turn the tide if he lives long enough... Seamlessly blending medieval and modern elements,The Kingdom on the Edge of Reality serves up a heady brew of action, humor, romance and satire in a kingdom set apart in time and space where reality is the dealers choice.
