In the midst of a city shattered by war, Alaric de Montrevaux did not encounter an enemy, but a woman named Zahra. She carried no sword and raised no voice to defend her faith. Zahra stood calmly among the ruins, with a belief rooted in inner steadfastness rather than in power.
Their meeting was not about rushed romance, but about two worlds standing face to face. Alaric came as a Crusader, raised to conquer. Zahra lived on the side he had long considered the enemy. Through brief conversations and unjudging glances, Alaric began to realize that truth does not always arrive through violence.
As war slowly stripped his life of direction, Zahra became the quiet place where Alaric witnessed a form of faith he had never known before. Calm, compassionate, and without force. Turned Back The Crusader is a story of war, belief, and a meeting that slowly changes everything.
