Book
Prince of Legend
First published 2013
After taking Antioch, the crusaders become the besieged as Kerbogha’s army approaches and the city runs short of food. Bohemund tries to retain control while disease, desertion and rivalry among the Christian leaders weaken the defence.
Raymond of Toulouse challenges the Norman claim, and Tancred is drawn into the struggle between collective survival and family ambition. The battle for Antioch will decide whether the crusade can continue and whether Bohemund can turn victory into permanent rule.
