Summary:
Inspired by the vision of the young Lady Sapphira, Rosalind of Ipsworth joins a group of men woman, and children as a defender of the cross, seeking to free captives from prisons near Tripoli. She'll gladly give herself to the cause, as she's haunted by a tragic mistake and feels she no longer deserves such joys as marriage and family might bring.
Sir Randel Penigree was reared to serve in the church but has always dreamt of protecting the innocent as a Templar knight. Joining a crusade to escape humiliation at home, he finds himself drawn to Rosalind as they partner to train and protect a group of adolescents. When faced with political intrigue and an unknown enemy bent on their destruction, they are forced to reconsider their priorities and the very nature of the God they serve.
My Thoughts:
I wasn't told this was the third book in a series, but it seems that the previous books are about different people, as the book was only a little confusing.
The prologue was super interesting, however the storyline got boring until about halfway through the book, when the characters stop in a town for help.
The villain was kind of a predictable one, maybe too predictable. But what happened to her wasn't really explained at all. It just sort of implied that she was killed.
The backstories of Rosalind and Randel are intriguing yet sad, and that's what makes a backstory good.
My Rating: 3.5 stars
**I received this book from Bethany House Publishers for my honest review. Thank you!**
