Description
Holy War, the final instalment in Jack Hight's Saladin Trilogy, brings to life the legendary war leader who united Arabia and recaptured Jerusalem from the Crusaders. As Saladin prepares for his ultimate battle against Richard the Lionheart, treachery and intrigue threaten to tear the Kingdom of Jerusalem apart.
The stage is set for a brutal conflict when Reynald of Chatillon raids a caravan heading from Damascus to Mecca, sparking a chain of events that will lead to war. With an army of over 24,000, Saladin marches into the Kingdom and imposes a crushing defeat on the Crusader forces at the Horns of Hattin.
But as Saladin's power grows, so too do the tensions between him and his longtime ally, John of Tatewic. Can their friendship be enough to negotiate a peaceful fate for Jerusalem, or will it ultimately prove to be a fatal alliance?
