The battles are many, long and fierce. Meanwhile Matthias, enthralled with the tale of Martin, the warrior, who long ago defended the abbey and saved it from disaster. His greatest wish is to become a warrior like Martin and defend the abbey. To do so he must find Martin's sword, a task as difficult as defending the abbey.
