Review of the Estonian language hardcover edition (2019)
This is the follow-up to the series of novels that began with Palveränd (The Pilgrimage) (2008) and Kindel linn (Stronghold) (2011).
This historical fiction novel takes place in the Middle East in the 11th-century and tells of the final years of the first Crusade. The main character of the novel is a former knight who has been declared an outlaw.
Syria, 1098.
After a decisive battle, in which the crusaders succeeded in crushing the Muslim relief force under Antioch, the protagonist, one of the heroes of that battle, is declared an outlaw, and his lover is held hostage by the Normans. He begins his journey to reach his beloved, to unite the divided forces of the peasant army and to take it to Jerusalem. It is a journey through darkness. - translation of the Estonian language synopsis.
It has been a wait of 8-years since Tiit Aleksejev's Pilgrimage series of novels had its previous episode in Stronghold and we are now barely out of Antioch in 1098. It is now likely that either a tetralogy or a pentalogy of books is to be expected, although the series had been first described as a two-parter and then as a trilogy.
