Pagan's Crusade: The Pagan Chronicles Book One
Wham! So here I am, standing in a sea of dirt, with a big mad
Templar
lobbing rocks at my head. Wham! Like some kind of martyr. Wham! He
throws like a catapult.
All right, Pagan, that's enough.' (I should damn well think so.) Do
you see what your problem is?'
Wait - don't tell me. You are.
Twelfth Century Jerusalem - the time of the Crusades.
Sixteen-year-old Pagan is assigned to work for Lord Roland, a
Templar knight. Set against a background of mounting tension as the
Infidels, led by Saladin, close in on the Holy City, Pagan's
Crusade sympathetically traces the relationship between the
knight and his squire as Roland emerges as both mentor and friend
for the orphaned Pagan.
Catherine Jinks's exuberant - and very funny - novel masterfully
intertwines thrilling action with a deeply personal story.
Pagan's Crusade is an exciting, moving and thoroughly
satisfying experience.
