Beschreibung

Continuing the epic historical adventure series from Richard Cullen, featuring The Black Lion...Stripped of his birthright, Estienne Wace seeks to prove his worth in the deserts of Outremer! Egypt 1219AD. Abandoning the safety of England for the perilous shores of the Levant, Estienne Wace is thrust into the turmoil of the Fifth Crusade. Burning with righteous purpose, he is determined to reclaim the Holy Land in the name of Christ. War rages along the banks of the Nile as a crusading army besieges the Saracen city of Damietta, certain that the price they pay in blood will return the glory and treasures they crave. But as the Black Lion roars, and the siege grinds on, Estienne's unwavering faith is tested more and more by the grim reality of this brutal conflict. As the siege turns on a knife edge, Estienne finds himself thrust upon a journey across the merciless desert. Stripped of everything, and forced into a dangerous alliance, he will grapple with the true meaning of faith, honour, and the price of salvation, in a land where nothing is as he once believed. Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell, Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden.
