Samuel Bavli

The Twelfth Stone Samuel Bavli

A riveting tale of antisemitism, duplicity, and a quest for redemption in the time of the Third Crusade.

The year is 1190, and a Jewish young man named Joseph is forced to flee his English village when an evil friar named Peter incites a massacre of the Jews. Only Joseph and two friends survive the slaughter; and, with the help of Enoch, an enigmatic old man with supernatural powers, they escape. Enoch tells Joseph that Peter seeks to unleash a maelstrom of evil forces in the world, and only Joseph has the power to thwart his plans. Joseph must find the courage to battle the forces of darkness and defeat his enemy.
