Geoff Lightstone, high school quarterback and member of a medieval re-creation club, has a secret: he's a coward. Needing to prove his courage to himself, Geoff comes to the aid of a student who's being bullied by a gang. It doesn't go well. Running for his life, Geoff falls from the third floor of a building and lands in the Middle Ages. Seeking his fortune and a way back home, Geoff walks into a land on the road to war. Saving the life of the Viscount of Carcassonne introduces Geoff to the life and politics of Occitan nobility on the eve of the Albigensian Crusade. Convinced that his only choice is to make the most of his new life, Geoff serves as a squire and then a knight to Viscount Raimon Rogièr Trencavel. Geoff becomes a man as he and his squire Pons work to survive and save lives amid the political and religious tension that turns to open warfare and a campaign of terror and destruction by the crusaders. With his small group being pursued by a band of ‘routiers,’ Geoff learns the nature of courage and does what he must: sacrifice himself so others may live.
