A swashbuckling medieval romance about a peasant-born youth discovering his noble heritage, learning knighthood, and winning the heart of a lady through honor and valor.

In the days of King Henry IV, stalwart young Myles and his sister Meg have been raised as peasants, without any knowledge of who their father really was. But one day, they journey to Macworth Castle. There, Myles falls in love with Lady Anne Macworth, makes friends and enemies, and learns to be a knight.
