The Runaway Knight

When the young Peter Manning finally achieved his dream of becoming a knight, never would he have imagined that ten years later, he would find himself on the run from the very person who knighted him. Having lost his family, discharged from the knight's order, and suffering survivor's guilt, Peter now travels across the kingdom of Aragon with his beloved little sister, Lana, the only immediate family he has left.Meanwhile, Lana, who just wants to live a normal life and keep Peter alive, must help her brother overcome his demons and accept the events of his past. But after meeting some unexpected acquaintances, Lana finally gets a taste of a normal lifestyle and actually gets to make some friends––something she never gets to do, seeing how she and Peter are constantly bouncing from one place to another. Although their newfound friends seem to have the Manning siblings' best interest at heart, they are still strangers at the end of the day. How do they know if they can be trusted? What could they possibly gain from helping two random siblings they found in the middle of the woods? These are questions that Peter constantly asks himself as he strives to protect his sister and find a place where they can finally feel safe.
