In the early 14th century, falling in love with the wrong person can bring terrible consequences. Young Garcés experiences this firsthand when, as a result of a forbidden love, he is forced to cross the Mediterranean as a member of the Almogavars—a force of professional soldiers and mercenaries from the Crown of Aragon—and take part in their battles against the Turks in Byzantium. A skillful mix of adventure and history, this novel is sure to fascinate and engross young adult readers.
