The Talisman

At noon a solitary Crusader crossed the waste beside the Dead Sea toward three palms and a promised well. Armour guards a knight from steel, yet beneath this sun it may finish the work no enemy began. You step into this one-chapter preview with Saracen Emir at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. They rode from the palms toward a guide whose name Sir Kenneth still did not know. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
