English Summary/英文概要: In Crusade (The Heretic’s Secret, Book I), award-winning young adult author John Wilson is at the top of his game. Quill & Quire called Crusade “an astonishingly nuanced and masterfully told story,“ while the Globe and Mail hailed it as “a brave book, an unsettling book, and one that is very much needed at this time.“ And now, in time for the release of the trilogy’s second installment, Crusade is available in paperback.
This riveting tale begins in 1209, as zealous Catholic knights prepare to storm the walls of the heretic Cathar city of Beziers. “Kill them all,“ they are told. “God will know his own.“ The Crusaders took the advice to heart and slaughtered 10,000 people. Two childhood friends find themselves trapped in the horror. One, Peter, is an assistant to the mysterious priest who leads the Crusade; the other, John, with the help of a heretic woman, barely escapes the doomed city with his life. As the brutal war against the Cathars expands, Peter and John are caught up on opposite sides of a search for a secret that might change the world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 在《十字军东征》(Crusade)(异教徒的秘密第一册)中,获奖青少年作家约翰•威尔森(John Wilson)正值其事业最高峰。加拿大《纸与笔》(Quill & Quire)赞其为“惊人的杰作”,而《全球和邮件》(the Globe and Mail)称其为“勇敢骚动适时的一部书。”现在,在三部曲第二部出炉的同时,这一部平装版已经付印。
这部饶有趣味的故事始于1209年,热情高涨的天主教骑士准备攻取异教徒之城。他们奉命将他们一网打尽。上帝会知道的。十字军因而听取建议,屠杀了万余人。两名儿时友人发现彼此陷于恐惧中。一个是彼得(Peter),他是神秘牧师,领导十字军的头目的助手;另一个叫约翰(John),在一个异教徒妇女的帮助下勉强捡回了一条命。在这场血腥的战场,彼得和约翰处于不同的对立面,寻求同一个秘密,这个秘密很有可能将改变这个世界。(XJJ)
