From the Publisher
------------------
Ever since he can remember, Robin, son of Sir John
de Bureford, has been told what is expected of him as the son of
a nobleman. He must learn the ways of knighthood. But Robin's
destiny is changed in one stroke: He falls ill and loses the use
of his legs. Fearing a plague, his servants abandon him and Robin
is left alone.
A monk named Brother Luke rescues Robin and takes him to the
hospice of St. Mark's where he is taught woodcarving and--much
harder--patience and strength. Says Brother Luke, "Thou hast only
to follow the wall far enough and there will be a door in it."
Robin soon enough learns what Brother Luke means. And when the
great castle of Lindsay is in danger, it is Robin, who cannot
mount a horse and ride to battle, who saves the townspeople and
discovers there is more than one way to serve his king..
