Historical
A knight in the Holy Land.
A woman in the frozen north.
A war that kept them apart . . . The second
volume in the internationally bestselling trilogy begun with
The Road to Jerusalem—the critically acclaimed epic
"destined to become a classic" (Sharon Kay Penman)
Exiled to the Holy Land for two decades,
Arn Magnusson has risen in the ranks of the Knights Templar,
serving as master of the order's Gaza fortress. Among the
last bastion of God's holy warriors determined to save
Jerusalem from the Muslims, Arn has cultivated a shrewd
understanding of his enemy. Known as Al-Ghouti among the
Saracens—Saladin and his Muslim followers—he is renowned as
a man of compassion, strength, and faith. Yet
neither time nor distance can lessen the pain of separation
from his beloved Cecilia. Confined to a cloister back home
in western GÖtaland, Arn's betrothed is a pawn in a war
between clans vying for control of the crown. Yearning for
him and their newborn son, who is being raised by relatives,
Cecilia must also endure the cruelties of a vindictive
abbess from a rival clan. When an accident of fate
brings together Arn and Saladin, a friendship is forged that
will alter the course of the Templar knight's life, and the
history of Jerusalem itself. After the bloody Battle of
Hattin, Arn finally becomes a free man. But the road home is
long and treacherous, and he is uneasy about the fate that
awaits him and uncertain whether his betrothed still lives.
Broadening the scope of Arn's epic path to
redemption, The Templar Knight continues the story of
the founding of a nation—and of the warrior and the love
that made it possible.
