Life for the young orphan Terence has been peaceful, living with Trevecent the old Hermit in a quiet, isolated wood. That is, until the day a strange green sprite leads him to Gawain, King Arthur's nephew, who is on his way to Camelot hoping to be knighted. Trevecent can see the future and knows that Terence must leave to serve as Gawain's squire. From that moment on, Terence's life is filled with heartstopping adventure as he helps damsels-in-distress, fights battles with devious men, and protects King Arthur from his many enemies. Along the way, Terence is amazed at his skills and newfound magical abilities. Were these a gift from his unknown parents? As Gawain continues his quest for knighthood, Terence searches for answers to the riddles in his own past.

Raised by the hermit Trevisant, who is able to foretell the future, Terence finds Gawain eating one of his snared rabbits. During dinner with Trevisant, he predicts that Gawain will become known as the "Maiden's Knight" and will become part of the Round Table of King Arthur, with Terence as his squire. And off they go on funny adventures, including Gawain's first defeat of a foe when he is armed only with a stewpot. Terence, too, has his share of adventures as he attempts to learn about his parentage.

Marilia’s Kingdom lasted for over a thousand years and in its time endured many challenges. Its knights protected all within, serving as the elite backbone to the army of men. The churches of the land opened their doors as places of learning and comfort to those in need. Then, two and a half centuries ago the Kingdom of Marilia collapsed. The self titled provincial lords took power, dividing the land to rule as each saw fit. These human tyrants continue to live to this day, as they have somehow achieved unnatural long life. The churches were pulled down, knights slain and the practice of magic in all forms was outlawed. All that remains for the people is hardship and oppression. There is still hope, good will and courage lives on in a few. Vodin, a Squire of the god of strength joins a half elven wood collector and his cousin Arjan as they are swept up in a plot guided by an unusual priest. One chance encounter starts them down a path of magic, mystery and friendship that could give the knighthood back its voice and much, much more.
