Synopsis
Forty years before the boy was born, a horde of bloodthirsty barbarians thundered out of the west and conquered his native land. They had succeeded because his people, ever at war with one another, had not fought together to defend their cities. In time, the boy was destined to become the very leader that was needed, a man with the courage and vision to unite his people and face the most fearsome and brilliant warrior of the age. The time was the twelfth century; the barbarian horde was the armies of the First Crusade; the great warrior was Richard the Lionhearted; and the leader was Saladin, the Noble Prince of Islam.- ★★★★★

Mindful Muslim Review
A true hero of our history, Saladin is one of the most fascinating figures of the medieval world. He was wise, generous, chivalrous, and knew the true meaning of justice–treating others with humility and respect even in the face of warfare. In the endless deluge of pop-culture icons and social media influencers, biographies of real-life heroes direct our children’s hearts towards admirable character traits and ideas that are worth learning.
