Down on his luck and kicked in the pants one too many
times, Pagan Kidrouk arrives on the doorstep of the
Templar Knights in medieval Jerusalem, looking for work as
a squire. Expecting only a respite from life on the street
and a few square meals, the sarcastic 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. But as the Infidel Saladin leads his army to
Jerusalem, it becomes more and more difficult for Pagan
and Lord Roland to decide what action to take or whom to
trust. Is a bloody battle for control of the Holy City
inevitable?
