Synopsis
THE CRUSADES ARE OVER AND EUROPE IS IN CHAOS. After years fighting in the desert sun -- and secretly working for peace with the Brethren -- Will Campbell returns to find his Scottish homeland under attack by his enemy, King Edward I. Betrayed by those he has served since boyhood, torn apart watching his daughter plunge into a dangerous affair, Will must now forge his own path to peace -- even if it leads through another battlefield. But a new threat is rising in France, where a warrior king will stop at nothing to achieve his twisted ambitions. The fight for the Holy Land is over. But the Temple's last battle has just begun.
Review
The final part of the Brethren trilogy and a fitting and satisfying climax to the tale of Templar Will Campbell. Obviously well-researched, full of fascinating detail - a marvelous way to learn history.
You will get much more out of this book if you've read the first two volumes, Crusade and Brethren, as there are constant references back to events and characters. At this time the Templars have been driven out of the Holy Land and the action switches to Europe. However, the enemies, once Will can determine who they are, are just as bad as ever, and Will has hard decisions to make.
An action packed, sword swinging tale story, somewhat slow to start, but persevere, it's worth it.
