The author of Sacrifice continues the saga of a medieval Jewish family with this tale of love and betrayal set against the backdrop of the Third Crusade.
England, 1189: Abraham accompanies his father and his friends to London to attend the coronation of Richard I. But after the king accepts the valuable gifts they have brought for him, he angrily demands the small group be ejected immediately, forcing them to face a bloodthirsty anti-Semitic crowd.
Having survived the horrors of that day Abraham decides that he must marry the woman he loves, Brunetta. Little does he know, Brunetta has just lost her innocence to his cousin, Baruch--a ne'er-do-well who holds nothing but contempt for her.
But will an act of infidelity, the arrest of Abraham's ailing father, and Baruch's discovery of a shocking secret change the family's future forever?
