Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

The inevitable clash between Christian and Saracen in the holy city of Jerusalem becomes a personal war between two immortal lovers as religious fanatics and political ambition conspire to thwart an act of conciliation that would unite two opposing faiths. Set in the alternate, magical 12th-century world of Tarr's "Hound and Falcon" series, this sequel to Alamut ( LJ 12/89), featuring compelling characters and a wealth of historic detail, belongs in most fantasy collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best in historical fantasy, April 6 2000
By A Customer
Frankly, I don't understand how any of Judith Tarr's books can ever go out of print. I own everything of hers that I've been able to find, and I read them all on at least a yearly basis, sometimes even more frequently. The Dagger and The Cross continues the story of Aidan and Morgiana, who met in Alamut. Aidan is a prince from the West, and a Crusader; Morgiana is a Muslim, and a former Assassin. One of Ms. Tarr's most marvelous gifts is the ability to weave basic human conflicts into the fabric of history and fantasy, creating an incredible tapestry of wonder and truth. Aidan and Morgiana's problem, the difficulty of reconciling their enormously different belief systems and moral codes, despite their love for one another, lies at the heart of all relationships. This is historical fantasy par excellence; a book not to be missed.
