Finalist for the Chaucer Award for Historical Fiction 2014 and B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree

Hollywood made him a blacksmith; Arab chronicles said he was "like a king."

He served a leper, but defied Richard the Lionheart.

He fought Saladin to a stand-still, yet retained his respect.

Rather than dally with a princess, he married a dowager queen -- and founded a dynasty.

He was a warrior and a diplomat both.

This is Book I of a three-part biographical novel. In this book Balian, the landless son of a local baron, goes to Jerusalem to seek his fortune, but finds himself serving a leper boy instead. Only that boy is soon King of Jerusalem and facing the combined forces of Syria and Egypt as Saladin declares jihad against the Christian kingdom.
