Crown of Heavens
by Juliane Stadler
Description
1189: craftsman’s daughter Aveline joins the Third Crusade in the
hope of gaining absolution for a grave sin. Circumstances force
her to pose as an archer named Avery as she joins Emperor Barbarossa’s
army. When she is wounded outside Acre, a city passionately
defended by Saladin’s men under governor Karakush, she
confides in Étienne, a crippled, young barber-surgeon. He keeps
her secret and they fall in love, but their love proves dangerous
when Aveline’s past catches up with her. They soon realise that
their worst enemy is not among the Saracens but within their own
ranks.
