A young archaeologist comes upon a startling discovery on a dig in the Great Zimbabwe ruins: a clearly identifiable sword of a Templar Knight. How had this artefact, from almost a thousand years before, ended up in the earth of central Africa?
Going back to the time of the Crusades, a story unfolds, full of trials and perils as two groups of soldiers set out on different missions. One group, of Christian knights, is fleeing the defeats at the hands of the Muslim armies, on a quest to find The Ark of the Covenant. One of the knights has in his possession a relic sacred to Islam: the Tears of Ensiah. Hot on their heels is a band of Saracen warriors, tracking the Christian knights, determined to reclaim the precious item for Islam. In this action-packed novel, the author takes us through shipwrecks, treks over mountain ranges & deserts and bloody scenes of slaughters & massacres – and all against the backdrop of searchers for glory relentlessly pursued by men intent on revenge and recovery.
