Knights of the Cross

Knights of the Cross

Knights of the Cross

14th April 2015 by Edwin Thomas

1098. Having settled their differences with the Byzantine Emperor, the armies of the First Crusade race across Asia minor, routing the Turks and reclaiming the land for Christendom. But on the Syrian border, their advance is halted before the impregnable walls of Antioch.

As winter draws on, they are forced to suffer a fruitless, interminable siege, gnawed by famine and tormented by the Turkish defenders, The entire crusade is on the verge of collapse. In the midst of this misery a Norman knight is found murdered. His lord, the ruthlessly ambitious Bohemond charges Demetrious Askiates to find the killer. But as Demetrious investigates, the trail seems to lead ever deeper into the vipers’ nest of jealousy, betrayal and fanaticism which lies at the heart of the crusade.
