Simon, who has left his training as a monk, carries stolen parchments containing the Word of God.
Hugo is a cottager eager to escape the bondage of servitude.
Golden and beautiful, Kateline wears rags with the grace of a noblewoman.
Elizabeth, a victim of rape condemned by her village’s priest, believes she must reach the Holy Land and fight for Christ to exonerate herself. When things start to go wrong, she’s certain it’s a result of her “curse.”
An Uncommon Crusade tells the story of these and ten thousand other children who, in 13th Century Europe, were coaxed to join a Children’s Crusade by Nicholas of Cologne and, in a simultaneous movement, by Stephan of Cloyes.
Written by former world history teacher, Caron Guillo, the story is well-researched. It is also well-plotted and written in exquisite style. An Uncommon Crusade by Caron Guillo will not disappoint.
