Archer
One boy’s fight against adversity to find friendship, romance and the generosity to love his enemy.
Archer is the sort of boy that things happen to. Orphaned as a baby, he has certain qualities that make him very different to all the other kids. He doesn’t understand why he is so much stronger and faster than other boys his age, why a sword just feels right in his hand, or how he can fire an arrow at a target and it will hit the centre even if his eyes are closed. He does know that he has to fight his friend Finn in a joust and compete against his best friend Fletch to see who is the most worthy. Whoever wins the competition becomes King of the May, rewarded with fame, honour and plenty of female adoration.
