*This story takes place in Mulair in 781AL*

Mellor Elwin is royal tutor to Princess Katheryn the only daughter and heir-apparent to King Aeneas II of Mulair. Princess Katheryn is a stubborn and unruly pupil. Then during one of her lesson she storms out of Elwin's teaching chambers. Princess Katheryn disappears and Elwin can't find her. Elwin has six hours before Princess Katheryn's maiden-courtier and aunt Lady Merith Jupp comes to take her niece back to her chambers in Nordel Castle.

Elwin can think of only one person to help him. Someone from his past. Someone he was once squire too. The colourful, disgraced and dishonourable knight Sur Raebyrn Reeb.
