About this ebook
As a knight battles to protect the Holy Land, his beloved lies captive in a convent in the 2nd entry in this thrilling historical epic trilogy.
Among the last bastion of God's holy warriors determined to save Jerusalem from the Muslims, Arn Magnusson of the Nights Templar is renowned as a man of compassion, strength, and faith, even among the enemy Saracens—Saladin and his Muslim followers. Yet, neither time nor distance can lessen Arn's pain of separation from his beloved Cecilia; confined to a cloister back home in western Götaland, his betrothed, the mother of their newborn son, is a pawn in a war between clans vying for control of the crown.
And when an accident of fate brings together Arn and Saladin, an unlikely friendship is froged that will alter the course of the Templar knight's life, and the history of Jerusalem itself.
Praise for The Templar Knight
"The political intrigue, military action, and exotic setting will appeal to both historical fiction readers and adventure buffs. Although part of a trilogy, this can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone entry, but most readers who happen upon this title first will surely want to go back for the beginning and will eagerly await the final volume." — Booklist
