This book is about a girl named Lynet in the middle ages who's castle is soon to be over run by a evil knight. She and her sister the co-owners of the castle think that it would be best if Lynet goes to see king arthur and seeks a knight who could kill the evil knight. So she starts her journey and see walks for two days finnaly she is so hungry and thirsty she can not walk. She finds a fire and a deer roasting on the fire she is about to start eating but a dwarf comes and they fight over it and she wins. The dwarf is so embarrassed that he shares his dinner with her and decide's to travel with her to king Arthurs court. When they reach it the dwarf leaves never stating his name. She goes and begs for a brave knight and all she gets wa a kitchen slave. She soon realizes on there journey back he is pretty extraordinary, he is sir Gaerith a strong but stupid knight. Later after he has proven what he said to be true by fighting many knights in amazing displays of his sword he is injured and he may not make it.

By reading this book I learned about how people in the Middle Ages were very self centered and always thought about themselves first like lynet who attemps to eat the deer even though it was someone elses. I also found that the way of the knights were very intresting and sad beacuse of how stupid the knights were, they almost seem helplessly stupid.I would recomennd this book but i would first read the other 2 because it is really hard to understand the transition.
