Putnam's Sons $c 2021 300 $a 688 p. 520 $a The Kingdom of Jerusalem, also known as Outremer, is the land far beyond the sea. Baptized in blood when the men of the First Crusade captured Jerusalem from the Saracens in 1099, the kingdom defined an utterly new world, a place where enemies were neighbors and neighbors became enemies. 520 $a 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 of people Baldwin can trust, including the legendary archbishop William of Tyre and Lord Balian d'Ibelin, a charismatic leader who has been one of the few to maintain the peace. 520 $a 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. 650 $a War and military $v Historical fiction. 655 $a Medieval civilization $v Historical fiction. 655 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119015658.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56160F10D89F11EB81BA7E5E52ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
