Unsuccessful in their mission to reach Jerusalem and to rescue her from Islam, Wil and a band of children begin the journey back home. They have endured starvation, disease and the horrors of watching their young comrades die or killed on their pilgrimage. Where is God? Why were they sent on such a mission by the Church? Vivid and haunting, the final book in this trilogy reveals some of humanity's most atrocious acts toward the innocent, and yet, simultaneously, some of the greatest kindnesses. It is strangely, not all that different from today. The reader who dares to follow these children on their way home, will be stronger, kinder and better for the journey.
