That's book one Please leave a review, tap the recommend button (Black button, looks like a medal, right below where the like/love/thumbs up icons are in a chapter) Looks like this : Every time you do, you help me improve visibility and let me know how I am doing. This is my first ever historical/fantasy book. I hope it worked and that you liked it. There are two more of the holy Crusade to go - The Holy Lance of Antioch, and The Lord of the Pierced Dawn. Then one about Darien's son Atreus - The Vanguard of the Silver Boar. One about Prince Ishan - Lost in the Sand (for @Seraph28 ) and one entitled Milo and the Dragon (It's about ser Val and a severe case of mistaken identity).

Ch20 The city of Mamistra had settled into an uneasy peace. The Armenian citizens went about their business, the Turkish garrison was a memory, and the men of Lord Haskal's vanguard had finally, for the first time in weeks, slept in real beds. Darien stood outside the requisitioned governor's residence, watching the sun rise over the walls, and tried to remember the last time he had felt clean. He could not. The summons had come at dawn. Lord Haskal wanted to see him.

Baldy Whine?

Taine was a bit of a Tool in this one, but as Tyler said, he needs to sort his shit out. The next book is about exactly that... well... with a few complications. Lynix goes backpacking in Italy. Pip gets the Time Share. Hilarity ensues. Simon gets his real name back..

Tyler, proving yet again, he's more mature than a 74 year old.

Pip's watching you and he wants his wings!!!! thank you

Chapter Thirteen: The Brains of the Operation The steel cage loomed over the arena like a monument to violence. Tyler circled cautiously, the canvas rough beneath his boots, his eyes locked on his opponent. The transformation was still happening right in front of him. The Bulk’s muscles were bulging in unnatural directions, his skin taking on a sickly, bruised-green sheen. His jaw was distending, teeth lengthening into something that belonged in the deep ocean, not a wrestling

so interesting little factoid. Haskal's domain is right smack in the middle of the Vexin. Which means: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Château_Gaillard

Baron Haskal is the antithesis of most of the Crusader Lords. I try to write him as a man of honour, Darien's "Dad" in all the ways that count. Darien's real father, ser Mark was absent, dumping his kid off on his liege lord. (Baroness Adela is amazing... we get to see her Raising Atreus FitzDarien later in the series. and she knows her boys). Haskal stepped up, and continues to raise his "son" to be a leader in his own right. Sorry I have both Darien and Haskal replace Lord Tancred, who did the things they do over the course of the story. Fascinating man, but not without his own... issues.

That's Riley from "The Estate" so... NO DEFINITELY NOT Right-Then-Riley is a treat of a character. He wins!

Baldwin II was celebrating... and you know ser Val's going to turn up with a Frankish marching band and direct them to march right over the ditch they tossed him in.

One more chapter to go for this one.

King Baldwin ends up face down in the dirt in Egypt, so there is justice, eventually. But he isn't done stealing cities, crowns, and blood yet.

Good morning.

Ch19 The road to Mamistra was dark, and Darien could not stop looking back. The fires of Tarsus had been visible for hours—a dull orange glow on the horizon that pulsed like a dying heartbeat. At first, he had told himself it was nothing. The city had surrendered peacefully. The garrison had fled. There was no reason for fire, no reason for the sky to burn. But the glow did not fade. It grew. Wylan had been quiet since they left the city, his head tilted back tow

Mrs. Hartley has protected status, a pendant that proves it. Chloe and Gregory are totally not a plot hole, ignore the hole in the wall of my plot, there is no hole. And they're working on Matt's immunity.

Chapter Twelve: The Bulk and the Beast The ruined churchyard looked exactly as it had the night they'd been arrested—gray, desolate, littered with the remains of Ministry investigation. Yellow tape fluttered in the January wind. Official vehicles were parked at odd angles. Officers in high-vis jackets moved between tents and equipment with the bored efficiency of people who had been here for weeks and expected to be here for weeks more. Tyler killed the engine and stared at

"King Baldwin" is about to learn it takes more than a crown to rule a city.

Well Lloyd was told to find a squire of "Similar tastes", one who knows better and can keep secrets. And Stephen, as Julian pointed out, was known to enjoy the attentions. Now if he can just stop crying every time there's a loud bang in his general direction.
