📦 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 Rider From Antioch — Gilles de Montbard is not one of the famous knights of the Crusade — not a man of large holdings or powerful family, not a name that appears in the songs being written about the campaign. He finds a woman at a spring in 1119 Crusader States, and what follows requires a quality of judgment that the songs about great knights do not prepare a man to exercise.
