Michael, an aspiring knight errant in the spirit of Don Quixote; and Fisk, a thief turned squire, make a wonderfully quirky team in this new young adult fantasy series. In their first adventure, they save a woman in a tower and only learn afterward that s Need a Hero To say it was a dark and stormy night would be a gross understatement. It was colder than a witch's kiss, wetter than a spring swamp, and blacker than a tax collector's heart. A sane man would have been curled up in front of a fire, with a cup of mulled wine and a good boo-, ah, a willing wench. But not me. I was out in it. I'm squire to a hero.
