Book description
In all the history of the sun-scorched Holy Land, there's never been a
knight like Sir Kenneth, "The Falcon." His sword is swift and
true, and in battle he fights with a savage intensity that lifts the
spirits of all who fight under the English banner. And these are the
women in his life--Elaine, the dusky, beautiful gypsy girl who earns her
living dancing and singing for the Christian troops--but would gladly
give it all up, if Sir Kenneth would only take her into his tent; the
Lady Joan, noblest and most stunning of all the ladies of breeding
living in the Christian camp. She is Richard the Lion-Heart's cousin,
and loves Sir Kenneth with a full-blooded, boundless passion--but in an
effort to make peace, her hand is promised to a Moslem prince, and she
must hide her love for her handsome hero. And at the center of it all
are the two great hero kings--the English monarch, Richard the
Lion-Hearted, and Saladin, the Saracen. A tempestuous, blazing romance
that sweeps across the colorful fabric of history!
