The Last Tower of Acre

The masonry moans. A Mamluk bolt whistles through the slit, embedding itself into the oak table with a sickening thud. The tower groans, a wounded titan bowing to the relentless rhythm of the siege.

You were once the rightful heir to a great Crusader estate, until Lady Isabella de Tracy cast you into the gutters of Outremer. Now, it is May 1291, and the kingdom of Jerusalem is burning. As the walls of Acre crumble under the relentless bombardment of the Mamluk sultan, you find yourself trapped in a half-ruined watchtower. And you are not alone. Isabella, the very woman who ruined you, is trapped beside you. There is only one blanket to stave off the biting night chill, one narrow stone alcove to hide from the slaughter below, and one chance to survive the night. To escape Acre, you must play a lethal game of deception, harboring a hatred that feels dangerously like desire. As the world ends around you, the borders between enemy and lover begin to blur. Will you reclaim your stolen legacy from her hands, or will the fall of Acre bury your vengeance—and your heart—beneath the rubble?
