La corona de los cielos

France, 1189. Aveline, the daughter of a craftsman, decides to join the Third Crusade in the hope of obtaining absolution for a grave sin. Posing as an archer named Avery in Emperor Barbarossa's army, she is wounded in Acre, the city that leads into the Holy Land, defended tooth and nail by Saladin's men. Aveline then confides her secret to Étienne, an apprentice surgeon and disowned son of a noble family. But when love blossoms between them, the young men realize that their past has finally caught up with them... and that their worst enemy is not among the Saracens, but among their own ranks.
