The Final Journey

 Set in the period of the year of our Lord, 1192, The Final Journey is about the end of the third crusade, and thus concludes the Warriors of Christendom trilogy, that began with Kings and Crusaders and The Storming Rage.
 Many of you may already know this. Some you may also well know it follows three important figures that shaped the third crusade and are famous to any crusades enthusiast of today: King Richard I of England, Sultan Saladin of Syria, and a lesser well known character whom also shaped it's events,
Sir Peter de Preaux. Each character has surprised me in doing the research and my life has certainly  changed while writing the books. Letters, accounts, and other eyewitness sources have much to do with my own interpretation of the characters, to their thoughts, feelings, emotions, and how they would have reacted to events that surround them. I have recently decided that the order of events in my books will change, and while I don't want to give away any details, the third will certainly include the second advance to Jerusalem, the Battle of Jaffa, and the journey of one of my heroes, Sir Peter de Preaux in the last march to Jerusalem. Every significant event is historical, every character is real, I have tried very hard since october 2010 to make these books historically accurate. Writing about the third crusade for so long now, I have often felt that I was there with them. It has been quite a quest. Now for the 1st draft I am finally coming to the end of my rope. When it is finished it will be advertised and mentioned in various place across the internet. A number of modern works and biographies have also helped that these books might be written. That's all for this for now. Contiue to keep updated.
