Norden grew up as a lord's son and he dreamed of becoming a valiant knight one day. As a boy, he was eager to learn to fight. As a teen, his dream comes true when his childhood hero comes back from campaigns and takes him on as a squire. He quickly learns, however, that being a knight sometimes means that you have to question the ideals you had as a child. When the rose-shaded glasses he wore fall off, will he choose to hold true to his oath to the king? Or will he choose the people over his reigning monarch?
