Publisher's Summary

For power. For passion. For glory.

The epic story of the Knights Templar.

Born in 1150 to a noble Swedish family and coming of age at a monastery under the tutelage of a Cistercian monk and a former Knight Templar, young Arn Magnusson is sent to fulfill his destiny beyond the cloister walls. But the world awaiting him is a place at odds with his monastic ways. And when the murder of a king engulfs Western Götaland into a whirlwind of intrigue and ruthless power plays, headstrong and naive Arn is forced to leave the woman he loves behind and take up arms to battle infidels in the Holy Land.

Surprisingly good

I searched for information on the Templar Knights and this title popped up. I purchased and started listening and was ready to bail after the 1st hour. The narrator takes a bit to get used to and the second hour was more interesting. By the end of the book I was hooked and purchased the other two books in the trilogy. Guessing it’s an historical novel as I am not familiar with Swedish or Danish history of the late 1100’s.

All in all a pleasant surprise.
