The White Knight

A travelling prelate arrives before the snow-capped turrets of the Castle of Rougement one evening just before Christmas. He has come from Rome on an important mission: the preaching of a new Crusade. His host, Count de Rougement, and the Count’s visiting friend, Baron de Croisy, are both convinced to join the holy venture.

But they are not the only ones who yearn to free the Holy Places. Alan, Baron de Croisy’s 14-year-old son, dreams of accompanying his father. But to the boy’s immense disappointment, he is told that he is too young.

One night, just when his dreams seem to be farthest from coming true, Alan is visited by a mysterious white knight who entrusts him with a mission of his own. He too is to go on Crusade…but a very different kind to the one he had imagined.
