"A Knight Templar, a journey to the edge of the world, an alliance that could change history"--Cover.
1259 AD: Josseran Sarrazini is a man divided in his soul. A Christian Knight Templar haunted by a shameful past, he hopes to find redemption in a dangerous crusade: a journey from Palestine to Xanadu, to form a crucial allegiance against the Saracens at the legendary court to Kubilai Khan - the seat of the Mongol Empire.Instead he finds the solace he seeks in a warrior-princess from a heathen tribe. Beautiful and ferocious, Khutelun is a Tartar, a nomadic rider of the Mongolian steppe. Although their own union is utterly impossible, she will find in Josseran what she cannot find in one of her own.
