Description

A battle‑scarred Englishman named Godwin finds himself stranded in a merciless desert, rescued by three unlikely companions just as a dying messenger delivers a desperate warning. A Saracen warlord’s sorcerer, Mufaddal al‑Mamun, is preparing a ship laden with plague‑carrying rats that could devastate England and halt the Crusades forever. The desert heat, ancient curses, and the faint hope of salvation set the stage for a perilous quest.

Joined by a quick‑witted maiden and a grizzled veteran, Godwin must race against time to locate the cursed vessel and thwart the dark magic that fuels it. Their journey will lead them across hostile lands, into secretive enclaves, and into confrontations where steel meets sorcery. As the fate of a nation hangs in the balance, the group’s courage and cunning become the only weapons against an invisible, deadly enemy.
