When Tiuri answers a desperate call for help, he finds himself on a dangerous errand that could cost him his life.

It means abandoning his home, breaking all the rules and leaving everything behind - even the knighthood he has dreamed of for so long. He must trust no one. He must keep his true identity a secret.
