Official synopsis Publisher
Will longs to be a knight, like his older brother Gavin. Then he could ride a charger, fight bravely in the Crusades for King Richard, and win the heart of a fair maiden. All he needs is a horse. And when he chooses one, he chooses well – a small chestnut stallion with a blaze on its forehead. There’s something different about Hosanna – but Will doesn’t know how important Hosanna will be to him, to his family, even to Saladin.
In the Holy Land, Will learns that being a knight is bloody, brutal and often terrifying. His father is killed, his brother desperately injured, and Will finds himself closer to his enemy than he ever expected – but his small chestnut horse teaches him what it really means to be brave, to be noble, and to be fair.
