Book description
In the aftermath of tragedy and scandal, Sabin FitzSimon, illegitimate
son of a Norman earl, leaves England for the Holy Land in search of a
new beginning. At first it seems impossible as the demons from his past
life return to haunt him. There is more scandal and banishment, and
Sabin finds his back to the wall. In the heat and dust, magnificence and
danger of Northern Syria, he must either face himself, or be vanquished.
Annais, daughter of Edmund Strongfist is a quiet, convent-raised young
woman when she accompanies her father to their new life in the Holy
Land. Her encounters with Sabin FitzSimon leave her bewildered,
desirous, and more than a little hostile. Bravely facing up to
heartache, an arranged marriage, war and death, she falls deeply in love
with the country and its people. But it will take more than love to
secure what she holds dear, including Sabin FitzSimon. It will take
courage, endurance and raw determination to succeed…
