Keeper of the Cross

Follow a young English crusader named Beck as he sets out on the adventure of a lifetime. After an encounter with Richard the Lionheart in the Holy Land, Beck returns to England with two objectives: safeguard two pieces of the True Cross and battle the treachery of Prince John until King Richard returns from the Crusade. Complicated by Richardas capture on the continent, Beckas objectives prove to be both elusive and perilous, and Beck is forced to lay his life on the line, as well as the lives of those around him, if he is to succeed on his knightas errand. Set on the sun-scorched plains of the Holy Land in the midst of the Third Crusade and in an unstable England facing treachery at the highest levels, Keeper of the Cross is an epic tale of a common man attempting uncommon feats against all odds.Barber, Nathan is the author of 'Keeper of the Cross', published 2004 under ISBN 9781413721362 and ISBN 1413721362.
