|:-:|:-:|

|![Cover Art](/images/secret-knights.jpg)|**IT IS THE YEAR 1340.**

*You have traveled back to the age of knights.*

A squire has just accused you of being a sorcerer. You must prove yourself in a duel with quarterstaves, *but you've never used them before.*

You can try to defend yourself or escape through the angry crowd. Your decision can lead you to safety or leave you stranded in time!|

| |ARE YOU READY TO FACE THE DANGER?|
