Just interested to know if anyone else has read this? I'm currently working my way through it. The story centres on a number of characters in the 13th century who are working toward, or trying to stop (depending upon their position) a great war between the muslims and christians.
According to the title it was a Time bestseller, but I must admit that I bought it because it was £3 in Tesco (the home of all great literature).
Quite interesting if you've played Assassin's Creed recently, as it mentions all the same places. And if you've played Creed then you'll know how to pronounce Acre... which is good.
