Add to basketIn this sweeping novel about one of the most fascinating periods in history, The Sulphur Priest weaves together two dramatic stories occurring six-and-a-half centuries apart at a medieval castle in the dense Mediterranean forest of western Galilee. In 1271, a young German squire was witness to strange and treacherous events that took place in the Crusader castle when it was under siege. In 1926, archeologists on an American-led expedition to the same castle in British mandate Palestine stumble on a concealed subterranean passage, and within it, a remarkable find. These two episodes come together to expose a double drama of secrecy, deception, alchemy, and murder. The Sulphur Priest is a must-read for anyone who enjoys action-packed historical fiction.
About the Author
Adrian Boas is an archaeologist and historian of the Crusades. He has excavated several crusader-period sites, including, for the past fifteen years, the fortress that serves as the principal location in The Sulphur Priest, his first novel. A professor emeritus at the University of Haifa, he has published several academic books.
Praise for The Sulpher Priest
A surprisingly intriguing mix of fact and fiction, rich in lore, heart, and mystery that transcends the ages. Fans of The Alchemist, The Name of the Rose, and maybe a bit of Indiana Jones would find it quite interesting. –Reedsy
Boas puts readers in the midst of all the “cracking of wood and the crash and crack of stone” with little promise of help for the main characters. An engagingly illustrative intersection of two distinct time periods. –Kirkus Reviews
Adrian Boas is a magnificent storyteller and plot genius! The book satiates my hunger and beyond as a lover and fan of the historical novel. The Sulphur Priest plays like a movie with a smooth interval change between timelines occurring in sequenced events. –Online Book Club Review
No one could have been better qualified to write this book than Australian- born author Adrian Boas, who is a professor emeritus at the University of Haifa, and who personally spent 15 years excavating this fortress, which is the principal location of his novel. The writing is often beautiful and poetic. After reading this book, I feel I have emerged with a more serious education, both in archaeology and in history. –Jerusalem Post
