Preview The Swords of Faith: A Novel of the Crusades Anthology

Description:
A work of historical fiction that truly deserves to be described as an “epic,” The Swords of Faith dramatically presents both sides—Christian and Muslim—in the fight for the Holy City of Jerusalem during the Third Crusade. The Sultan Saladin has finally succeeded in capturing Jerusalem for Islam, and Richard “the Lionheart” is duty bound to respond for the sake of Christianity.

The Swords of Faith is told through the viewpoints of these towering heroes of the late Twelfth Century, as well as through the eyes of a Christian knight, Pierre of Botron, and a Muslim trader named Rashid. The relationship of these two lesser men is the story of how common people of good will can prosper in the midst of such a polarizing conflict.

Events build, culminating with one of the most famous battles of the Crusades, the Battle of Jaffa, in 1192. The ultimate resolution of the confrontation between Richard and Saladin not only offers fascinating entertainment, but insights that reverberate into the present day.
