"If a man believes enough, a man can do anything," a poor thatcher tells his son. "A man can change his stars." But in 14th century Europe, fortunes are not made-they are predestined. For lowborn William, the son of a poor thatcher, it seems incomprehensible that he could ever realize his childhood dream of knighthood. But one day, at a medieval jousting tournament, fate deals William a shot at the ring. Before long he has reinvented himself as noble Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland, and is vying for the hand of the beautiful Jocelyn.
