Crusades Bookstore Review:
The first of a series of slightly mawkish historical romances. Sometimes accused of reading more like history books than a novel, but a nice, easy way to find out about the crusades.

From the cover:
Framed for a murder he didn't commit, Tancred Redwan is a knight torn between his fathers Norman blood and the Moorish blood of his mother. Forced to flee for his life, Tancred travels the golden hills of Palermo to the seven jewelled hills of the Byzantine capitol. Caught up in the turbulent events surrounding the Peasant Crusade, he is again forced to make a difficult choice as Christian Europe arms for the First Crusade to rescue the Holy Lands from infidels.
