The narrative follows Will Campbell as he grows from boy to man from Sergeant to Knight in the supremely powerful organization of the Knights Templar. Far away in the Holy Land we also see the unstoppable rise to power of Baybars the great general and ultimately Sultan of the forces ranged against the Crusaders. This is a stirring novel of battle and courage but more it is also a compelling story of mystery and intrigue: when a notebook goes missing in Paris Will is drawn into a struggle for control of the Templars - and with it the very course of history. A secret society within the Knights is pitched against the Kings of England and France - not to mention the Saracen armies in the desert heat of Palestine - and discovery will spell disaster.
