The incredible new novel from the#1 internationally bestselling author of The Alchemist.
July 14, 1099. The city of Accra awaits the invasion of the crusaders who have surrounded the gates. There, within the city walls, men and women of every age have gathered to hear the words of a mysterious man known only as the Copt. He has summoned the townspeople to address their fears with truth, hope and comfort.
They begin with questions about defeat and struggle; they contemplate the virtues of loyalty and solitude; and they ultimately turn to questions of beauty, love, wisdom, and what the future holds. “What is success?” poses the Copt. “It is being able to go to bed each night with your soul at peace.”

‘His writing is like a path of energy that inadvertently leads readers to themselves, toward their mysterious and faraway souls.’

Russell Crowe
‘The Alchemist is a story about the endless search of finding out who you truly are. On the road for most of our lives, sometimes it’s difficult to find something to grasp on to, to define who you are and where you belong—and reading The Alchemist truly made me appreciate my family and band and those close to and around me. It brought some stability into our wild ride of a life.’
