The year is 946 A.D.
A Christian military order known as the Order of the Centurion is hard at work protecting Christian Europe from threats both human and monstrous.
Knights and Shieldmaidens defend the faithful from the Moors in the west, the Vikings in the north, and the Hungarians in the east. But beyond these human dangers they also face inhuman ones with dragons in the wild places and werewolves in the forests. Worst of all are the darker things that prowl the shadows of the night that even dragons and werewolves flee from.

“One of the things which I particularly liked about the novel was the characters and their development, and the fact that they were unusual in their roles and portrayed strong ideals of self-discovery and inner strength. The dialogue also showcases this fantastically, bringing Portia and Brendan to life with characteristic and authentic voices that capture both the history and emotion of the time period. What results is a set of heroes you can really get invested in, and when combined with the atmosphere and well-drawn fantasy world, it makes for a really exciting novel.” – K.C. Finn
The Centurions: Book 2
The Werewolf’s Gift
Strange things are happening in the woods of the Danes, and a dark army is being built. To complicate matters, the children of the Indigo Dragon are still on the loose and they will play a critical part in the coming battle. All of Europe is at stake and the puppet master behind the scenes is not pleased that their plans are being interfered with.

"David Noel takes readers into a mind-stimulating narrative that includes intricate details about battle strategies, combat techniques, and medieval weapons. Several quotable lines and Bible passages in The Centurions got me deep in thought about life and philosophy. I was fully engaged by the fastpaced action and the fun characters of the teenage protagonists.
David Noel's book would appeal to historical, war, Christian, adventure, and fantasy book fans. Though The Werewolf's Gift is more centered on war [than the Dragon's Prophecy], I was glad to see that it maintains some of the adventurous feel I loved about Book 1 and even goes further to give a more profound and exhilarating experience." - Foluso Falaye
