![]() This is the story of the “unusual life of King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, the leper crusader king who - despite ascending to the throne at only 13, his early death at 24 and his debilitating disease - performed great and heroic deeds in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.” It is the story of faith, a story of friendship, and a story of how Christianity loses its way when corruption spreads within its ranks. ![]() But so much actual history is woven into this book and it is so masterfully written I wish I could just call it history. There was not a lot of sleep the night I finished this book! And I must admit I went to bed much later than I should have for my alarm goes off at 5am to get up and ready for work. I devoured it in two sittings on the same day. And her handling of mental illness and especially PTSD in The King's Prey: Saint Dymphna of Ireland was incredible. I loved Saint Magnus The Last Viking, and found it very well written. I have been greatly impressed by them all. ![]() This was the third book I have read by Susan Peek over the last few months. ![]()
