In the 12th Century, as the Third Crusade draws to a close, an English knight must confront fate's designs and forge a path to save his family and homeland, all the while learning the merits and deeds of a true hero along the way. English Crusader knight William Lothar has fled the battlefield, only to find himself face-to-face with an enemy soldier. He is homesick, terrified, and full of doubt, half a world away from everything he's ever known.—Brad M. Allen
