Description
This captivatingly written and historically accurate novel takes readers to the time of the struggles for the Holy Land, which became a clash between two of the most significant knights of the Western and Eastern worlds: King Richard the Lionheart and Sultan Saladin. A girl named Aveline also sets out on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Dramatic circumstances force her to disguise herself as the archer Avery. After being injured in battle, she must confide in the healer Étienne. He too struggles for justice and recognition. With his help, will she be able to reach the tomb of Christ and cleanse her soul of mortal sins? The enemy lurks not only behind the walls of the besieged city but also within their own ranks. Juliane Stadler, thanks to her profession as a historian, can accurately describe the harsh conditions in the Crusader armies, the lives of ordinary pilgrims, and the work of medieval healers. The predecessors of today's doctors managed to cope even in seemingly hopeless situations.
