Book I of the Templar Trilogy
by Jack Whyte
The first of a planned trilogy chronicling the birth of the Knights Templar opening in 1088, as Hugh St. Clair, a French nobleman, joins a mysterious society known as the Order.
"Veteran of eight Arthurian novels (The Lance Thrower, etc.), Whyte turns to the Crusades with this tedious first volume of a Knights Templar trilogy." - PW.
"Whyte, a master at painting pictures on an epic-sized canvas, pulls the reader into the story with his usual deft combination of historical drama and old--fashioned adventure." - Booklist.
