The Knights Templar
They had all joined taking three vows: poverty, chastity,
and obedience…for they were monks: warrior monks, dedicated
to theprotection of pilgrims in the Holy Land -- until
stories spread by anavaricious king who wanted their wealth
for his own destroyed the order. There was one knight, however, who escaped the stake,
vowing justiceas he watched his innocent brothers die. In the Service of the Lord
Simon Puttock has not been bailiff of Lydford Castle long
in this year of 1316, when he is called to a nearby village
to examine a burned-out cottage and the dead body within.
But it is the newly arrived knight, Sir Baldwin Furnshill,
who discerns the deceased was no victim of a tragic mishap;
he was, in fact, murdered prior to the blaze. Simon would
be well-served by accepting further assistance from this
astute, though haunted and secretive stranger. For a second
fatal burning indicates that some harsh evil has invaded
this once-peaceful place, and its hunger has yet to be
sated.
