The Crusader: Books 1 and 2 of the Crusader Series by J P Wilder is a war story of Christian crusades fighting against heathens known as the Dark Men. The war was dramatic and intense, filled with betrayal, a massacre, and lost souls. However, the most compelling aspect of the narrative is the theme of redemption, woven throughout the series. In the second book, a ghost from the past haunted Aaron, leading to a battle with darkness, betrayal, and the ultimate quest for redemption. This book reminds me of our struggle between right and wrong within our heads. I enjoyed the book.
