He vanished without a trace. Only one man dares to find him—before it’s too late.

Summer, 1191. As the armies of the Third Crusade lay siege to Acre, King Richard the Lionheart vanishes without warning. His knights search the desert in vain. The crusade teeters on the brink of collapse.

Only one man swears an oath to find him—Blondel de Nesle, the king’s loyal minstrel and closest companion.

Alone, Blondel rides into a strange land of monsters and warlords. His quest leads him to the Witch of Acre, a mysterious sorceress who holds Richard under a terrible enchantment.

She offers Blondel a single chance to save his king: recover the Bloodstone, an ancient relic shrouded in legend.

The Witch of Acre is a short standalone prequel to Outlaw Knight (I): Crusade by David Pilling—perfect for fans of historical fantasy, medieval adventure, and myth-touched tales of chivalry.
