In 1212, young Geoffrey and Alys de Villacours join the Children's Crusade, determined to journey to the Holy Land and free Jerusalem. Their inspiring march reaches Marseilles, where deceit awaits.

Tricked onto ships by unscrupulous traders, the children are separatated and sold into slavery. Fortune smiles on them for once when the Governor of Egypt buys them both and they are reunited in his household. Geoffrey and Alys's story becomes a thrilling tale of courage, hope, and survival.

Based on true events, this book provides a vivid and unforgettable introduction to a fascinating period in history.
