In Talisman, no one is who you think they are and if they are, and neither are they on the side you expect. During the time of the Talisman story, a truce is in place and Richard is near death with a mysterious fever. After Richard recovers with the help of an Infidel medical man, the Royal women join the camp, including Richard’s charming young consort.

This book has the classic images of the Crusades: duels, secret convents hidden in the harsh, craggy rocks of the desert, hermits, sultans, kings, dukes, Nubian slaves, conspiracies, Arab doctors and the like.” Collector’s Edition. previous owners bookplate on half title page
