Synopsis

Jerusalem, 1192, The Third Crusade Soraya al-Din is a woman bent on revenge. Disguised as a boy, nothing will keep her from her quarry! Marc de Valery is a war-weary knight who has one last duty -- to protect King Richard on his perilous journey back to England. As the sun rises over the golden desert, Soraya sets out with Marc. It is the first step on a journey that will take her away from all she knows -- across the Mediterranean to the beautiful Italian countryside and over the harsh French Alps. While danger follows close in her footsteps, can she shield her heart against the honorable knight she has sworn to destroy?
