When the raid is completed that rainy March night in 1072 A.D.,
Charles the Merciless counts his spoils. He and his raiders have
captured twentyfive men, fourteen women, five dozen gold coins,
twenty-five small silver bars, an assortment of jewelry, and one
baby boy with blond hair, green eyes, and a telling birthmark.
Sold into slavery, the boy, John-the son of Robert and Mary
Joinville and the grandson of Baron William Joinville-leads a
difficult life at the Abbey of Lille. Tutored by a monk, John
becomes not only a talented shepherd, but an educated young man.
John yearns to become a knight. When his opportunity arises, this
shepherd boy shows his true mettle as a leader and a warrior. As a
knight of Baron Legran, he and his compatriots join God's Crusades
where the battles never seem to end.
The Arab and Turkish people have never forgotten the Crusades,
even 1000 years after the fact. "Gods of War" provides a unique,
historical look through John's eyes at the advance of Christendom
into the heart of Islam.
