Summary: In this book a soldier named Theo is sent to war to claim Jerusalem for the Jewish people, but first before going to war he must win a tournament. Luckily he survives. During war he meets a girl with whom he falls in love, but the only way they can stay together is if the girl will pretend to be Theo's man servant. How will Theo and his love solve that problem?

Rating:
I think the book deserves 4 and a half stars because it has a lot of action and also shows you how life was in medieval times. It's not just fighting. It has a hint of romance. The author describes life then in such a way that you feel as if you are living there. It's also good since the book is for almost all ages.
