It tells the tale of the lord of a castle, Manfred, and his family. Manfred's son Conrad is about to be married to princess Isabella, but Conrad is killed; crushed to death by the fall of a huge helmet from above. In light of an ancient prophesy, this tragic event is especially ominous.","brand":"Skyros Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172145217776,"sku":"9781518331749","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781518331749_p0.jpg?v=1763728340","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781518331749","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
