Summary: In 1242 France, three children—William, Jacob, and Jeanne—embark on a perilous journey. Captured by knights and pursued for their beliefs, they must save sacred texts from destruction. With Jeanne's resurrected greyhound, Gwenforte, they face a final test at Mont Saint-Michel. Can they perform miracles like saints? Their intertwined tales, told by travelers at an inn, reveal a world of adventure, prejudice, and unexpected heroism. As their saga unfolds, the children's courage and unity challenge the darkness of their time, leaving readers to wonder about the true nature of miracles and destiny.
