“Schrader\u2019s (Rebels Against Tyranny, 2018, etc.) prose manages to summon the culture and time period of the Crusader states while remaining light and readable….” KIRKUS REVIEW<\/em><\/p>

“…the reader can almost smell the offal and blood, feel the pain of wounds, the effects of hunger, hardship, and fear, the taste of stale bread and sullied water, and the bittersweet taste of victory.” CHANTICLEER BOOK REVIEW<\/em><\/p>


\u201cSchrader imagines a rich and intricate novelistic universe in which historical fact blends with fiction to create a compelling narrative. Set against the backdrop of the Christian struggle to retain the Kingdom of Jerusalem in the early 13th century, the novel offers both an engaging and informative read.\u201d BLUE INK REVIEW<\/em>

“The author is brilliant in her writing and … continues to offer the most exciting historical series that mesmerizes the reader.” FEATHERED QUILL REVIEWS
