Robyn Young’s historical fiction has topped
international bestseller lists and won praise from the likes
of Raymond Khoury, Steve Berry, and Alison Weir. The Fall
of the Templars chronicles an era few people know
about—what happened when the Templars returned from the
Crusades and found that the monarchs of Europe did not want
an army of religious warriors back on European soil.
Leaving the Christian empire in the East in ruins, Knight
Templar Will Campbell returns to the West to discover that
the Temple has forged an alliance with his enemy, King
Edward of England, vowing to help the king wage war on
Scotland. This pact against his homeland strikes at the core
of Will’s faith and allegiances, while his daughter, Rose,
is led into a dangerous affair in the French royal
household. Will now faces a choice: Should he protect his
family, or lead his men into a new world? The fight for the
Holy Land has ended. But the Temple’s last battle has just
begun.

Few know of the small armies that roamed Europe after the Crusades finished and they were no longer needed. They acted much like gangs do today. The strength of the Templars as a group made them an asset until the rulers coveted and feared their financial strength. Seeing this play out on a personal level will be most interesting.
