📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Knight's Charge — Sir William has been struck by an arrow three miles back and is bleeding through the cloak wrapped around him. His squire Aldwin guides the horse north through the winter forest, one arm around the knight's waist. Sir William is carrying something besides the wound: a sword that was lent to him by a dying man who asked him to return it to a specific person, and Aldwin must decide whether that charge dies with the knight or passes to him.
