Part of the The Squire's Tales series
A young blacksmith's son joins a quest for the Holy Grail, discovering the true meaning of knighthood.
Piers, yearning to escape his father's blacksmith shop, joins a knight on a quest. When the knight falls to the enigmatic Parsifal, Piers is thrust into an unexpected journey. As they pursue the elusive Holy Grail, Piers confronts challenges that redefine his understanding of knighthood. Will he find what he truly seeks, or will the quest reveal more than he bargained for?
Piers (or Pierre, as he wants to be called) is desperate to escape the dirty, tedious labor of his father’s blacksmith shop. So when a knight shows up and says he’s on “the quest,” Piers begs to go along. Soon he is off on a series of adventures he never dreamed possible. However, Piers’s knight quickly runs into some difficulties and is slain by an odd character named Parsifal, who is on his own quest. Piers has no other choice but to join him. Parsifal is unlike anyone Piers has ever met and doesn’t behave “knightly” at all. As their journey continues, Piers and Parsifal are drawn into the Quest for the elusive Holy Grail, and slowly, as the Quest continues, Piers begins to realize what being a knight really means.
