The Widow of Jerusalem - first US edition
by Alan Gordon - signed
This tale is recounted in 1204 A.D. by the jester Theophilos to his wife
Claudia while fleeing across the Alps from the Papal armies. It takes place in
Tyre in 1191 A.D. when Theophilos and Scarlet, the dwarf jester of 'the most
beautiful woman in the Kingdom of Jerusalem' are quietly manipulating events to
stop the bloodshed spawned by Richard the Lionhearted's attempt to recapture
Jerusalem from the army of Saladin.
Drawn from actual events, this is a tale of intrigue and ambition, love
fulfilled and love unrequited, and a trio of historical deaths that have never
been fully explained . . . until now!
