Product Description
From AudioFile
The Franks are in the Holy Land from every part of Europe, bringing a panoply of accents for Christopher Scott to interpret. Sabin FitzSimon, the reckless hero of this historical sweep from the courts of Europe to the outposts of Northern Syria, is Norman. The object of his true desire is the convent-raised Annais, from Scotland. As they travel the length of the Mediterranean, descriptions of foreign rituals, as well as clothing, art, and everyday objects, allow Scott to transport the listener to exotic locales.

From Booklist
Readers will immediately be swept away by a masterful telling of a story spanning the borderlands of Scotland across the desert to the courts of twelfth-century Jerusalem. Sabin FitzSimon, an amorous knight in King Henry's court, loses his powerful position when discovered in a dalliance with the king's favorite mistress. Attached to Sir Edmund Strongfist, FitzSimon will accompany the aging knight and his convent-educated daughter, Annais, on a crusade to the Holy Land. In the glittering and intriguing courts of Jerusalem, they will meet the seductive predatoress,^B Mariamne, who will lust for Sabin and take Edmund for a husband; the courtly widower Gerbert, smitten with Annais; and the fearless King Baldwin and his courageous queen, Morphia.^B Soon all the characters find themselves caught up in border skirmishes leading to kidnappings, ransoms, and a daring rescue (based in fact) from a Saracen fortress. The author expertly twines factual details through the page-turning action. All characters, fictional and historical, are fully realized. An engrossing read for fans of medieval fiction; suggest also to readers of historical romance. Kaite Mediatore
