The greatest knights of the age were ready to give battle.

On the French side, the King and his son, the Dauphin. With 12,000 knights.

And then there is William Gold. A cook''s boy - the lowest of the low - who had once been branded as a thief. William dreams of being a knight, but in this savage new world of intrigue, betrayal and greed, first he must learn to survive.
