In the Syrian city of Akka, Nathanael, a young Jewish doctor, and a
Muslim girl called Zohra are about to fall in love. But Saladin's
army has just taken Jerusalem, and soon their own city will be
engulfed by war. Meanwhile in England, John Savage, a foundling
boy, runs away from his cruel life in a priory with the Moor, a
mysterious man driven by a dream of perfection. They join a band of
conmen travelling through the English countryside faking religious
miracles for cash, until they are recruited in Richard the
Lionheart's army and sent to regain the Latin Kingdom from the
infidel. Akka awaits. It will be the site of the greatest - and
cruellest - siege of its time. But even in the midst of war, lovers
find ways to make transactions of beauty. Pillars of Light is a
powerful and moving novel about the triumph of the human spirit
against all the odds. It will delight fans of Philippa Gregory, Ken
Follett and Diana Gabaldon.
