The Book of the Lion Chapter 29 Summary

  • The battle begins in full swing, and the Saracan army looks weak and unarmed compared to the Crusaders.
  • Edmund makes his way up a hill covered in blood and broken bones; men are hacking away at each other and falling to the ground everywhere.
  • Edmund deals a blow to a Saracen, but as Hubert takes a swing, he slips on a bloody stone. As he falls, Edmund stands in front of him to protect him. Anger and courage fills his head as someone's sword grazes his shoulder. He strikes the Saracen down dead.
