Very hard to find and long out of print book based on a book that hadn't been published since 1899. The story of Husain and Zammarrud fallen in the grip of the Assassins take us back to the last days of Hasan Bin Sabah's merciless followers, at the end of which the sect's stronghold, the famous fort of Alamoot, was destroyed by the even more merciless Mongol hordes. Sharar writes famously in the style of a Walter Scott novel, the novel itself being a new literary form in his day.

This is by far the best retelling of the Hashashins (the original mind-controlled assassins) I've ever come across, and it's unfortunate the book is so hard to find now.
