Despite the shame of his family, young Miles quickly gains a reputation for courage and independence, working as a knight in the castle of the great Earl of McWorth. And then one day, when Miles turns sixteen, he discovers that his blind father has been convicted of treason and hunted by a powerful enemy close to the King. Challenging the king's champion means certain death. Miles must fight to regain his family's rights, but does he dare to take the risk of fighting to regain his family's honor?
