About

In the years before the Third Crusade, Prince Aidan of Rhiyana came to the Holy Land. The younger of twin sons born of a mortal king and an Elven woman, he was heir to magic – and, said many, the finest Christian knight alive. Yet when he pledged his heart, it was to the immortal Lady Morgiana – a steadfast Muslim . . .and an Assassin. Now, after years of waiting, Aidan’s brother King Gwydion has come to Acre, Carrying the papal decree that will allow Prince Aidan and Lady Morgiana to marry despite their difference of faith. But neither of them has reckoned on their enemies, men who hate them for their wealth, for their power, for their long lives and their magic; who have laid plans to thwart their happiness. Other, greater plans are under way as well: Saladin, the wily Sultan of Egypt and Syria, is gathering his armies to lay siege to the holiest of cities and drive the occupying Christians into the sea.
