Volume #3 in the Crusades trilogy. The crusading armies go from besieging the citadel of Antioch to themselves being besieged. Although Bohemund, leader of the Apulian Normans, takes a firm grip on the city, his depleted army is thinned by death, disease, and defection. Meanwhile, Tancred is the first onto the walls of Jerusalem and a leader when it comes to entering the Holy City, but it remains to be seen if he will rise to become the Prince of Legend.
