Set in the 13th century during the Crusades. The first book in a trilogy. Two men on opposite sides will have their destinies tied together. Will, a young knight, ends up in a lot of trouble looking for the Book of the Grail. Baybars, a former slave, wants to take down the crusaders with his army. It took me awhile to get into this book, but once I did, I really enjoyed the story and the characters.
I found this to be really gripping. The characters were really engaging, even the minor ones so I felt it more when people died. It kept me hooked till the end and made me so excited for the next one.
