When 14th century peasant, Crispin, is orphaned and accused of a crime he did not commit, he is forced to leave the town he’s known his entire life and venture out on his own. On the road he encounters Bear, a huge and possibly mad juggler who forces Crispin to become his servant. Chased by unknown enemies of Bear, Crispin must become a very different person than he has been thus far if he is going to survive.
