Book Description:
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 when 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 has 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.
