Description

<p><span><span>Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, &quot;Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None&quot;. Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.</span></span></p>

Story Behind The Book

I have skied on the snowy cap of Mauna Kea, been thumped by the pounding surf of the North Shore, climbed up the face of the Ko’olau mountains, gone sky diving over the Wai’anae mountains, been scuba diving off the reefs of Cocoa Head, run the Honolulu Marathon and participated in a variety of triathlons and races across Oahu. To this day, my most memorable, motivating and inspirational time in Hawaii was watching the men and woman race in The Ironman World Championship. There are hundreds of novels dramatizing many great sports. My hope is that this story can show the greatness of triathlons, a glimpse of human nature and strength of the human spirit. Everyone has a dream. Not everyone has the courage to act on it.
