Francia, XII secolo. Morgenne è solo un bambino quando misteriosi cavalieri bianchi uccidono i suoi cari. L'odio lo divora per anni, nel corso delle sue avventure, dalla ricerca di Crucifera, la spada di san Giorgio, ai tornei cavallereschi. Solo dopo aver placato la sua sete di vendetta, Morgenne diventa cavaliere Ospitaliere e si unisce ai crociati di Terrasanta.
