Murder – War – Treachery
This historical novel immerses you in the horror and bloodshed of the Crusades in the 12th century. You will join Templar knight William de Mandeville on a quest to find the Holy Grail and to salvage the tarnished name of his family. He not only fights the Muslim Saracens but his own demons.
Go with William and experience medieval warfare close up as you’ve never seen it before. Learn about the daily life and tough military drills of the Templars. Meet their enemies who were bent on destroying these holy warriors. Get your copy of Quest for the True Cross on Amazon and other online sites. Stand alongside William and his trusty Syrian accomplice, Pathros, as well as the plucky Saxon boy who joins them, Nicholas.
Quest for the True Cross plunges headlong into the religious and political pandemonium of the twelfth-century, cleverly depicting both sides of the Crusades in a way that doesn’t set one above the other.
- The True Cross has been stolen and the Knights Templar do not know its whereabouts
- They must find it or risk being ridiculed by the whole of Christendom
- The Crusades are going badly with the Saracens making big gains – maybe this is the wrath of God at the Templars having lost the True Cross
And what is the True Cross? It is part of the crucifix on which Jesus was executed by the Romans. Only one man can find and rescue it before the world discovers that the Templars let it slip from their grasp.
His name is William de Mandeville. An English Templar knight. But he has been forced to return home from the Holy Land back to England. Why? Because his mind is tortured and possessed by a demon. It mocks his faith and commitment to the Templar cause. If he can find the True Cross, maybe the demon will leave him alone.
If you want to find out if William succeeds in his quest, you’ll have to buy Quest for the True Cross. Get it on Amazon or other good book retailers. And tell us here what you thought about this Templar adventure!
