Synopsis

• An extraordinary and original chronicle in the turbulent times of the first crusade.
• A medieval odyssey through a world of emperors and sultans, monks and mystics, barbarians and slave-warriors.

The year is 1089, a time when Christian nations become increasingly alarmed by the rising power of Muslim armies. In desperation and fear, kings and clergy plot to defend Christendom. And a Benedictine monk by the name of Ramiro is unwittingly thrust into the tempest.
The powerful Abbot of Cluny sends Ramiro on a secret assignment to the Patriarch of Jerusalem, giving him a curious cross to deliver. But what begins as a simple mission soon becomes a wild and terrifying excursion through the mysterious and magnificent kingdoms of the medieval Middle East.
Determined to complete his mission, Ramiro is thwarted time and again by emperors and sultans, monks and mystics, slave-warriors and savages—and a carpenter’s daughter who haunts his dreams. Hunted down by a Turk warrior, Ramiro rushes into the last leg of his journey only to encounter a new enemy—the bloodthirsty knights of Europe. And when he finally arrives in Jerusalem, he is shocked to discover that the Cluny Cross could cost him his life.

*Originally published as Cluny Cross: A Mad Medieval Tale. This is a revised edition.
