About this ebook

Life took a twist she never expected.

All Charlaine ever wanted was to follow in her father's footsteps… until the moment she was forced to leave her old life behind to save her family.

Banished, her future uncertain, she begins anew as a Temple Knight, travelling to a distant land, seeking a place to call home.

When the past catches up with her destroying any chance of a new life, it's only after raiders ransack the coast that Charlaine's true mettle emerges. Suspecting all is not as it seems, she devises a plan that reveals a far greater danger than anyone ever imagined.

With her new family of Temple Knights, Charlaine leads them in a desperate gambit to thwart the ambitions of a mighty foe who has the power to destroy them all.


Journey along with Charlaine deShandria as she chases her destiny in the action-packed, intrigue-filled Temple Knight, the first book of Paul J Bennett's newest epic fantasy series, Power Ascending.

Paul Bennett has begun a new series which hopefully will go from strength to strength. The opening few chapters set the scene as well as develop the characters. I must admit you could find the opening a tad tedious, however as the storyline progresses you become more fascinated to find out what happens next. The author writes in a style that is easy to follow with storylines that hold your interest. The novel is a mixture of fantasy and medieval history rolled into one. I look forward to the next one with interest as we follow the careers of the characters.

The Temple Knight by Paul J. Bennett is a very good read. I loved the main character and all of the supporting characters, the good and the bad. The story flows smoothly and it kept my attention riveted to the pages. The battles are well written and I rocked faster. This according to my sister means it's very good because (lol) I rock faster whenever the battles heat up. I recommend this story to everyone who likes strong female leads and very good story telling.

While this newest story of Paul Bennett’s is longer than his previous works, which made it even more enjoyable, in my opinion. There are many interesting characters who I know are possibly going to reappear in later books of this new series.

About the author

Paul J Bennett (b. 1961) emigrated from England to Canada in 1967. His father served in the British Royal Navy, and his mother worked for the BBC in London. As a young man, Paul followed in his father’s footsteps, joining the Canadian Armed Forces in 1983. He is married to Carol Bennett and has three daughters who are all creative in their own right.

Paul’s interest in writing started in his teen years when he discovered the roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons (D & D). What attracted him to this new hobby was the creativity it required; the need to create realms, worlds and adventures that pulled the gamers into his stories.

In his 30’s, Paul started to dabble in designing his own roleplaying system, using the Peninsular War in Portugal as his backdrop. His regular gaming group were willing victims, er, participants in helping to playtest this new system. A few years later, he added additional settings to his game, including Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, World War II, and the all-important Fantasy Realm where his stories take place.

The beginnings of his first book Servant to the Crown originated over five years ago when he began running a new fantasy campaign. For the world that the Kingdom of Merceria is in, he ran his adventures like a TV show, with seasons that each had twelve episodes and an overarching plot. When the campaign ended, he knew all the characters, what they had to accomplish, what needed to happen to move the plot along, and it was this that inspired him to sit down to write his first novel.

Paul now has four series based in his fantasy world of Eiddenwerthe, and is looking forward to sharing many more books with his readers over the coming years.
