Description
"Fourteen--year--old Bec learned a lesson that day. Be careful whom you rob. A slave on the run from his vicious master, Bec is desperate for money. But when he mugs Tien Nu, he gets more than he bargained for. Tien Nu isn't just a superb acrobat and kung fu wizard. He's also killed his father - or so he thinks. As the paths of the two boys become intertwined with the journey of a mysterious knight, mayhem ensues when they head cross--country toward the safety of Ponti, with Bec's slave master in hot pursuit. A medieval, historical adventure in the Kingdom of Italia."--
