Before the Crusades became legend, they were tragedy. In a world divided by faith and empire, three lives collide: Godfrey, a guilt-scarred knight seeking redemption; Nizar, a poet who learns his words can wound as deeply as his sword; and Anna Komnene, a Byzantine princess and spy fighting to save truth from the lies of kings. From the cathedrals of Normandy to the burning deserts of Syria, their fates entwine in a war that questions the meaning of holiness, honor, and humanity itself. Epic, lyrical, and unflinching, Thrones of Dust and Divinity is a story of ink and blood, faith and betrayal-where history is written by conquerors, but remembered by those who refuse to forget. For readers of Ken Follett, Anthony Doerr, and Guy Gavriel Kay.
