📦 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 Lantern Keeper — Sigrid has kept the lantern at Bolungaírvík on the north coast of Iceland since before the news arrives in August 1780 that a ship has been seen working east along the shore. The news comes through a wool trader who heard from a fisherman who was further north. The ship has Danish markings. Sigrid does not know who is on it. She had kept the lantern because the lantern needed keeping.
