Consumed by an impossible longing for the lovely Baroness Blanch DuVal, trapped in the middle of a conspiracy to assassinate King Louis IX, and struggling to keep his faith, Jean-Michael finds that love, war, and treachery await him at every turn.
When Jean-Michel sets out across Europe and the Holy Land on a quest to rescue sacred relics, he does not know what treachery follows him or that the love of a lifetime waits ahead. Will this Medieval knight find the faith he seeks, or will the intrigue of the Crusades of French King Louis IX destroy all that he believes?
