El esplendor de la Edad Media, la violencia de las Cruzadas, el poder del amor.

«Meticulosamente documentada y escrita con garra. ¡La épica La corona de los cielos de Juliane Stadler es una novela histórica en una categoría propia!». —Daniel Wolf, autor de La sal de la tierra

Francia, 1189. Aveline, hija de un artesano, decide unirse a la Tercera Cruzada con la esperanza de conseguir la absolución para un grave pecado. Haciéndose pasar por un arquero llamado Avery en el ejército del emperador Barbarroja, cae herida en Acre, la ciudad que da entrada a Tierra Santa, defendida con uñas y dientes por los hombres de Saladino. Aveline confía entonces su secreto a Étienne, aprendiz de cirujano e hijo repudiado de una noble familia.

Pero cuando el amor surge entre ellos, los jóvenes se dan cuenta de que su pasado por fin les ha alcanzado... y de que su peor enemigo no se encuentra entre los sarracenos, sino entre sus propias filas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The splendor of the Middle Ages, the violence of the Crusades, and the power of love.

“Meticulously documented and strongly written. Juliane Stadler's epic The Crown of Heaven is a historical novel in a class of its own!" ¾Daniel Wolf, author of The Salt of the Earth
 
France, 1189. Aveline, a craftsman’s daughter, decides to join the Third Crusade in the hope of receiving a pardon for a grave sin. Posing as an archer named Avery in Emperor Barbarossa's army, she is wounded in Acre, the city that leads into the Holy Land, which is being defended with tooth and nail by Saladin's men. Aveline then confides her secret to Étienne, an apprentice surgeon and disowned son of a noble family.
 
But when love blossoms between them, the young lovers realize that their past has finally caught up with them… and that their worst enemy is not among the Saracens, but within their own ranks.
