Down on his luck and kicked in the pants one too many times, Pagan Kidrouk arrives on the doorstep of TheKnightsTemplar in medieval Jerusalem, looking for work as a squire. Expecting only a respite from life on the street and a few square meals, the sixteen-year-old finds himself hard at work for Lord Roland de Bram — a not-so-exciting life of polishing Lord Roland's armor, laundering his garments, and even training to fight by his side.
