Produktbeschreibung
An escaped Templar, an old crusader, and a discarded bride embark on a quest for justice in the face of tyranny. An English Templar travelling to Cyprus is one of thousands arrested on Friday 13 October 1307. Victims of Philip IV's greed for the Order's legendary riches, they are cruelly tortured. The English knight becomes the first non-French Templar to confess to the trumped-up charges. Then he disappears. Soon, other imprisoned Templars also go missing from the French King's dungeons. Rumours begin to circulate of a band of free Templars. Based on historical events, not fantasy, The Tale of the English Templar tells the story of the struggle between good and evil in human hearts - and of the power of love even in our darkest hour.

She has published two critically acclaimed non-fiction books on the crusader states, "The Holy Land in the Era of the Crusades," and "The Powerful Women of Outremer."
