About this listen

In the final gripping volume of Jan Guillou's boundary-breaking Crusades Trilogy, exiled warrior Arnde Gotha returns home to Sweden, determined to liberate and unite his homeland in what promises to be his greatest trial yet.

Traveling from Saladin's sand-swept Holy Lands to the Scandinavian North, Arn's final adventure is a captivating historical narrative encompassing the struggle for honor, the quest for lost love, and the momentous clash of European and Middle Eastern cultures.

Fans of Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, William Dietrich, and James Clavell will be enthralled by Jan Guillou's Birth of the Kingdom, the stunning and dramatic climax to a tale begun in The Road to Jerusalem and The Templar Knight, and a masterpiece of epic and magisterial historical fiction.

I wish this book were twice as long. I’ve now read, then listened to the trilogy, and adore Guillou’s world. Easily as good as the first two books.

The last part of this amazing trilogy is just as wonderful as the two previous books. Jan Guillau is such a great storyteller. The characters have different personalities and develope through the story, and the plot is believable and exciting. I hope the follow-up novel about Birger Jarl will be reocorded soon as well.

Wonderful book!
