“Once in a while, you come across a book that reminds you of the feeling of exhilaration you had when you fell in love with reading fiction. Storm of War, with its brilliant combination of a historical theme and vivid description of battle scenes, is a great example of this.” - San Francisco Book Review, 5/5⭐⭐��⭐��
"Saye’s strengths lie in the incredible attention to detail. Be it the clothing, the food, the weapons, the care for the horses, the flowing descriptions of the landscape surrounding us – it’s all there. It’s one of the things that made me fall in love with George R.R. Martin’s writing ages ago, and it’s had the exact same effect on me here. It creates a very vivid world that sucks you in with ease. I also thoroughly enjoyed the character development of not just Daniel, but those around him. This story isn’t just an A to B trip to retake the Holy Land – it’s about who Daniel is, about his change and who he becomes." - Trey Stone, Author of The Consequence of Loyalty, 5/5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Not only is it well written with great characters and excellent descriptive scenes of life as a crusader, but it is also so well-researched that I felt by the end that I had taken a history course on the crusades. This is definitely a book worth reading - one that both entertains and educates.” - Amy Rodriguez, Reedsy Discovery, 4/5⭐⭐⭐⭐
From the Back Cover
Constantinople, 1097.
As an insignificant thief in the underbelly of Constantinople, Daniel wants to matter, to be known. After a botched job forces him to flee the city, he is swept up among the thousands of crusaders as they depart for the Holy Land on their mission to retake Jerusalem.
Their first obstacle: Nicaea, an impenetrable city of stone walls and high towers, impervious to assault and immune to siege.
Now a fledgling servant to a gruff Scottish knight, Daniel struggles to fit in among Saracens and Crusaders, princes and priests. Will he find his worth as he learns to live in this new world of blood and death, or will he succumb to the storm of war?
Genre: Historical
