Thriller Arcane
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.

Though I'm familiar with the history of the Templar downfall, this personal view of it sounds intriguing.

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.
