Description

What depends on a person? Do they have a choice? Can they change fate—for themselves and for their people? The past intertwines with the present; love fights with duty; passion borders on hatred; only a few stand against many, and one stands against all. While the East and West measure their strength, people make a choice between good and evil. Only suffering makes you human; only a heroic death turns defeat into victory. The author explores the roots of hostility between the Islamic world and the Judeo-Christian world, the reasons for the defeat of the Crusaders, the “salt of the earth” of the 12th century. On the historical foundation of events taking place in the Levant, the novel strings together captivating misadventures of its heroes, filled with intrigues, love, and battles. A vivid, witty narrative elegantly links the plot twists of the distant past with the harsh present of the Middle East.
