"... if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain..." -Romans 13:4
Trained in the warrior arts of the Furusiyya since children, the very meaning of the word Mamluk is "to be owned."
They have defeated their Muslim enemies, crushed the unstoppable Mongol horde, and now turn their full attention to the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Only the port city of Acre remains in the hands of the Crusaders. The boys in Brother Foulques de Villaret's Hospitaller Army of Children are approaching manhood, but their training is far from complete. Foulques needs more time. The Hospitallers, Templars, and Teutonics all need more time. Before preparations can be made, the Mamluks are at the gates of Acre. And in their midst, is a man Foulques knows only too well: a terrifying Mamluk warrior named Badru Hashim, the Northman.
Mamluk is the second book in the Hospitaller Saga, a series of action-packed adventure novels perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom.
