Description

As two sides collide over effective and belief numbers change males and religion to help their very own plans, evil is deeply entrenched in culture throughout the First Crusade. In the centre, three oridinary individuals are at risk to be overrun by conflict and political expedience – however they don't combat alone… The book's subject, East of Ashes, is just a play on words from two scriptures in the Bible that speaks of God eliminating our sins "so far as the east is from the west" and bringing forth "a crown of beauty in the place of ashes". Part romance, part historical epic (similar to Francine Rivers' best-selling The Level of the Lion trilogy), East of Ashes is just a Christian-Fiction book that follows the quest of Lamech – a soldier with blood on his hands who seeks redemption in the love of the wonderful woman, but rather discovers that his route leads him directly into the middle of the violence of the Very First Crusade. As he fights within the Crusader army at the siege of Antioch in the entire year 1098 A.D., Lamech witnesses terrible actions that echoes together with his own shame, but starts to find out anything so glowing that it intends to eat him.
