"So... " Casimir looked up, his eyes holding Martin's with an unreadable look. "I think you should add an eleventh code to your list."

1360s. The Black Forest, Germany.
Martin Malterer has spent his life preparing for one thing: to become a knight. A squire of unwavering loyalty and skill, he clings to the Ten Chivalric Codes as taught by his knight and mentor, Sir Otto, believing in honor, duty, and justice. But the brutal reality of medieval Germany does not reward ideals -- it crushes them. And Martin finds himself caught between loyalty and betrayal, expectation and disillusionment, death and the burden of producing an heir. Struggling to carve out his place in a world that would never accept his true self, he is forced into a marriage of convenience, bound to a woman he does not love, while secretly yearning for something he cannot have.

As war with the Swiss brews and political tensions between Freiburg and Count Egino reach a boiling point, Martin's decisions set off a chain of events that culminate in an unforeseen outcome, threatening to destroy everything the young knight has fought for.

A gripping medieval historical fiction, The 11th Code: Part 1 is a coming-of-age story about honor, sacrifice, and the painful cost of being an underdog in a world ruled by power.

The 11th Code Parts 1 & 2 is a story for fans of Song of Achilles and Solomon's Crown.
