The Moor and the Maiden - E-book - ePub

A former mentor wants to involve him in heresy. The only woman he could ever love is bound by fear and wants him gone. A Templar Knight, bitter from the failed second crusade, wants him dead. But there is One who, despite his past, wants him back. Asim never should have returned to France. In AD 1150, too many people believe the dark-skinned Moor is an infidel sorcerer. The Christians who persecute him further harden his heart against God.
Only Bishop Lisieux welcomes him back after years of estrangement. During their journey to the de Montfort castle, a threat emerges. Stephan, a young Templar Knight, will stop at nothing to kill the Moor. If he finds the Bishop's heretical secret, Asim and the Bishop will burn together. Will Asim ever be reconciled to God amid the fear and hatred that surrounds him? Or will he be cut down before he is given the chance?
