How does a young slave girl become free? How does she survive kidnapping and violent attacks? How does she become the chief adviser to a great ruler? How does she defeat the Crusaders? And, finally, how does she rule the whole of Egypt as its Queen?This is the extraordinary and inspiring story of Shajara al Durr, a Muslim girl who became one of the greatest leaders in history-a Queen of Egypt known as Tree of Pearls.
