    About this ebook

    Swedish author Jan Guillou follows up the highly acclaimed The Road to Jerusalem with the second book in his Knights Templar trilogy.

    The Knight Templar follows Arn's adventures in the Holy Land, where he discovers that the infidel Saracens aren’t as brutish and uncivilised as he had been led to believe, and that in fact there is another, darker side to the teaching of the Cistercians.

      The Templar Knight continues the story of Arn Magnusson, now serving as a Templar Knight in the Holy Land. As we travel with Arn about his business, we learn more about the inner workings of the Order of Knights Templar, are introduced to some of the celebrities of the age, such as Saladin and Richard the Lionheart and live through the battles of this time. We also see life in Sweden at this time through the eyes of Arn's love interest, Cecilia, who becomes more of a character in her own right. The book was a page turner and you just need to accept that Arn will be in the right place at the right time to introduce you to the major characters and events of this era. I really did like the author's descriptions of the places and the people of the Crusades and am looking forward to the English translation of part three of the trilogy.
