In a kingdom with a medieval setting, the young Tiuri is about to be knighted when, on the night before the ceremony, he disobeys the rule that forbids him to speak to anyone. When he opens the door, he receives a dangerous mission: to deliver a secret letter to King Unauwen while the evil Red Riders pursue him.
