One year had passed since Tobias and his friends- Jonathan, Donuel, Reptile, and the two black birds known as MacRaven and MacCrow-had had their last adventure together. But it was not their fault; there simply hadn"t been anything exciting to do since Darmond and his crony, the Black Knight, had met their untimely demise in the cave-in under Darkgate Castle. During this time, Reptile had been under the charge of both Tobias and Sir Raven. Since the tall man had grown used to following a group of young Arabian dancing girls around to the different faires they performed at and didn"t want to give up his routine, Tobias reluctantly offered to let Reptile stay with him and his family at their home just out-side of Yorkshire. Had he only known that Raven didn"t plan to return until the following year, he might not have been so generous with his offer. But as things turned out, it wasn"t so bad for Tobias, spending the past year with the reformed villain. After all, most of the crimes that Reptile committed had been done against his will. Forced into a life of crime by his former lord and master, Darmond, all the lad wanted to do now was to prove himself as an honest and trustworthy young man. The first of the four stories presented in this book will start you off one week before the King"s annual festival. Tobias and his friends Reptile, Jonathan, Sir Terrance Mac-Crow and the recently knighted Donuel, are sitting around a table at Tobias" home, discussing the upcoming faire and the young squire"s recent promotion.
