Historický román, jehož jádro je vytěženo z události kolem prvního křižáckého tažení do Jeruzaléma v letech 1096-1099. Autorka vytvořila mohutnou epopej, jejímiž hrdiny nejsou šlechtici, pro něž výprava znamenala politický a hmotný zisk, ale prostí francouzští řemeslníci, kteří podvlivem náboženského zanícení i vlastní chudoby odcházejí spolu s křižáckým vojskem přes celou Evropu, Cařihrad, Malou Asii až ke "svatému městu", které je za strašlivého krveprolití dobyto. Autorka vylíčila nejen tuto pouť, ale i krutý konec všech nadějí těchto lidí.
