Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 In AD 1191, Conrad of Montferrat ascended the throne as King of Jerusalem. He planned to drive Muslims from the Holy Land, earning a place in history as a Christian hero. But he died soon after, and his followers were killed by Muslims when they surrendered. #2 The Dai-el-Kebir, the castleâs master, showed Henry his trusty servants. He explained that he had rid his society of its enemies by using these servants. #3 The Assassins were a secret society that grew out of a seventh-century schism among Muslims. They were Shiites, who took their name from the Arabic phrase ahl as-sunnah wa-l-ijma, or People of the Sunnah and the consensus, which refers to the orthodox branch of Islam. #4 Christianityâs Reformation wars were just a warm-up compared to the battles between Shiites and Sunnis, which have been going on for centuries. The Shiites were always outnumbered ten to one, and this led to them being oppressed by the Sunnis.
