The Worth of a Knight

The Worth of a Knight tells the story of Garnier, a man short on luck. Having just survived the Battle of Agincourt on the side of the French, he's a man adrift. His lord is dead, his country is about to be overtaken by an outside usurper, and he's wounded by an arrowhead. With nothing to look forward to, anything could be a possible way out of this. The proclivities for kindness, decency, and growth remain at the heart of Garnier despite everything he has been through.

The story is one of self-discovery, as well as moving beyond your preconceived notions about the world to see people as they actually are. What makes it unique in comparison to other stories are its setting and elements not found in many other such stories, like the high attention to detail paid to historically accurate clothing, tools, equipment, and even the dueling practices. This tale paints a vivid image of life during the early 15th century.
