The Talisman is a historical romance set during the Third Crusade, bringing together King Richard the Lionheart, Saladin, and a young Scottish knight caught between rival loyalties. Amid desert campaigns, political intrigue, and chivalric ideals, a mysterious talisman and a healer play key roles in the unfolding drama. Scott combines adventure, exotic setting, and reflections on honor and cultural difference into a vivid tale of cross cultural encounter.
