Book
The Lion of Tiberias
Set in crusader-era Syria, The Lion of Tiberias brings the Scandinavian adventurer John Norwald into the contests and shifting alliances of the twelfth-century Levant. Howard uses the looming pressure of Zengi and the militarised frontier atmosphere of the crusader states to frame a story of swordplay, raids and sudden reversals.
The unstable balance between Latin principalities and Muslim rulers is central to the danger, with Zengi providing a historical anchor for the fictional action.
