Slave From Antioch

About the Book

If you're a slave, survival is the key to everything. This was especially true during the Crusades. Levi understood this and developed his own 'rules'. However, he was unprepared for the critical test -- the confrontation. The delicate balance he lived by was threatened. The choice was simple: drop the rules or face almost certain, violent death. Surviving that, tomorrow he would surely face the murderous revenge of those who now hated, envied or had 'marked' him. Levi's decision thrust him on a course of random events filled with peril, outside his control, offering no return. Saladin, the great Moslem leader and Reynald de Chatillion, wily Christian, the most despised Prince of the Outremer, both ordered events that demanded so much of Levi physically and spiritually. As if to defy the laws of inertia, Levi had only his wits to get through the tangled paths of reward and punishment, greed and justice, love and hatred.
