What did Sigurd Jorsalfer do between 1108 when barely eighteen years old he left Bergen with a fleet of sixty ships and a thousand men and his return from the Crusade four years later with one ship? He went to England to Mont-Saint-Michel to Santiago de Compostela conquered Lisbon the Balearics went to the court of Sicily to Alexandria in the Holy Land where the patriarch of Jerusalem gave him a piece of the True Cross. On the way back he made a detour through Constantinople to be greeted with pomp by the emperor Alexios. In parallel here is the story of Amina Arslan a Muslim refugee in Jerusalem who narrowly avoids being massacred by Christians. With her father who claims to be converted she flees the Holy Land and goes to settle in Constantinople. This is where she meets Sigurd. A love as intense as it is brief will unite the Norwegian king - the defender of the True Faith carrying a relic that Amina knows to be false - and Amina who has never renounced his Muslim faith. A novel that mixes the breath of history with a passionate exploration of contemporary issues: the coexistence of religions and sometimes fanaticism and intolerance.
