Sword of the Valiant: The Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

A mysterious knight in green arrives at King Arthur's court and proposes a contest: a challenger may strike him one blow, on the condition that the knight answers in kind a year later. Gawain, eager to prove himself, accepts and beheads the stranger, only for the Green Knight to retrieve his head and depart. Bound by his promise, Gawain leaves Camelot and travels the land, encountering people and dangers along the way, with the Green Knight's riddle and the coming reckoning never far from his mind.
