Book Summary
The second volume in the internationally bestselling
Brethren trilogy, Crusade is gripping
historical fiction that “grows more relevant by the day”
(Raymond Khoury, bestselling author of The Last
Templar)
An international bestseller,
Crusade is a fast-paced medieval adventure
portraying the rising tide of political pressures that led
East and West to war in the 13th century.
After
years of bloodshed, peace finally reigns in the Middle
East, in part due to the efforts of Will Campbell and a
mysterious group known as the Brethren. However, a cabal
of ruthless Western merchants aims to reignite war in the
Holy Land, while Prince Edward—once a trusted member of
the Brethren—has made a promise to the pope: he will take
the Cross to Jerusalem and lead a new crusade. To survive
the escalating conflict and protect his family, Will must
harness all his knowledge and courage.
