Baptized in blood when the men of the First Crusade captured Jerusalem from the Saracens in the early twelfth century, the kingdom defined an utterly new world, a land of blazing heat and a medley of cultures, a place where enemies were neighbors and neighbors became enemies. At the helm of this growing kingdom sits young Baldwin IV, an intelligent and courageous boy committed to the welfare and protection of his people. But despite Baldwin's dedication to his land, he is afflicted with leprosy at an early age and the threats against his power and his health nearly outweigh the risk of battle. As political deception scours the halls of the royal court, the Muslim army--led by the first sultan of Egypt and Syria, Saladin--is never far from the kingdom's doorstep, and there are only a handful Baldwin can trust, including the archbishop William of Tyre and Lord Balian d'Ibelin, a charismatic leader who has been one of the few able to maintain the peace. Filled with drama and battle, tragedy and romance, Sharon Kay Penman's latest novel brings a definitive period of history vividly alive with a tale of power and glory that will resonate with readers today"-- $c Provided by publisher. 700 1 $a Burgoyne, John, $e cartographer. 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012015341.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20210603010636.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210402012257.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210402010401.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B30EF086937811EB99EFE00156ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
