Finally poised to sail to the Holy Land, Richard finds a bitter siege awaiting him. And with it, the iconic Saracen leader responsible for the less of Jerusalem, Saladin.

Kane is really hitting his stride with this book in which known history is intertwined with the fictional life of Ferdia. As Kane acknowledges, the breadth and depth of writing on the crusade is huge making research easy to come by. Here the facts are relayed accurately with the fiction wound neatly through it and with a strong sense of storytelling that makes this an enthralling read at many levels. ( )
