Sharon Penman's The Land Beyond the Sea is an epic tale of a clash of cultures that will resonate with readers today. Set in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, also known as Outremer, the novel was baptized in blood when the men of the First Crusade captured Jerusalem from the Saracens in 1099. The crusaders who stayed have adapted to an utterly new world: a landscape of blazing heat, exotic customs, and enemies who are also neighbors. Seeking retribution for the massacre in 1099, Saladin, leader of the vast Saracen army, launches a campaign to reclaim the sacred land from its current ruler, Baldwin IV. While the young king proves to be intelligent, courageous, and dedicated to the welfare and protection of his people, he lives his life under the terrible affliction of leprosy, which has plagued him from an early age.
While the scheming of rival factions and fierce political deception plague the halls of the royal court, the ever-present threat from Saladin weighs heavily on the young king's shoulders. Furthermore, there are few that Baldwin can trust, including the archbishop William of Tyre and Lord Balian d'Ibelin, a charismatic leader who has been one of the few to maintain the peace. But war is coming.
The Land Beyond the Sea is a captivating and immersive novel that delves into the complex politics, religion, and personal struggles of the Middle Ages. Penman's writing is masterful, and her characters are well-developed and relatable. The novel is filled with drama, battle, tragedy, and romance, and it will leave readers eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series.
