It's not quite the world you know. Crown Princess Evelynne deMolay is Heir to the modern-day island nation of Atlantis. Alleandre Tretiak is a foreigner whose quiet shyness conceals secrets and incredible power. When Ally saves Evelynne's life by stepping in front of an assassin's bullet, they are thrown together in the middle of a plot to overthrow the Realm. Ally is forced to navigate a new and unfamiliar culture, while Evelynne must come to terms not only with what Alleandre's power represents, but her own growing attraction to someone totally unsuitable to be the lover of the Heir of Atlantis. Together they must stretch each other's minds, and push the boundaries of a society.

The New York Times bestselling author of A History of God skillfully narrates the history of the Crusades with a view toward their profound and continuing influence. "Holy War brings compassion, objectivity, breadth, and imagination to the most urgent crisis of our time." —The Boston Phoenix In 1095 Pope Urban II summoned Christian warriors to take up the cross and reconquer the Holy Land. Thus began the holy wars that would focus the power of Europe against a common enemy and become the stuff of romantic legend. In reality the Crusades were a series of rabidly savage conflicts in the name of piety. And, as Armstrong demonstrates in this fascinating book, their legacy of religious violence continues today in the Middle East, where the age-old conflict of Christians, Jews, and Muslims persists.
This is the first comprehensive study of the use, abuse and development of the crusade image in popular and high culture in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing upon a diverse range of sources, mainly from the British Isles, but with parallels from Western Europe and North America, the author shows the different approaches to the history of the crusading movement and crusade images taken by the historian, composer, artist and author.
