Templar's Light

A pilgrimage to the Holy Lands. A chance rescue on the road. The origins of the legendary Order of the Knights Templar...

Cristiana must accompany her father and her betrothed on a pilgrimage to the Holy Lands in order for her father to approve her marriage. A sudden attack by highwaymen outside of Jerusalem turns her world upside down. A gallant knight saves her, but also inadvertently does her great harm, and she cannot bring herself to be grateful for his service, no matter how handsome he is.

Terrowin accompanies his father and his lord, the Baron, to Jerusalem to save all their souls. They discover the Holy Lands to be more tumultuous than most of the world believes. After rescuing the lovely Cristiana, Terrowin finds he can't stop thinking of her, despite having promised himself to a girl back home in Gascony.

Turks and other bandits stalk the roads, looking to rob, rape and slay the Christian pilgrims traveling toward the holy shrines. Though Christians control Jerusalem, Cristiana and Terrowin find themselves caught up in the logistics of a centuries-old religious war that still rages in the Outremer. What draws them together may tear them apart. Then again, what tears them apart may draw them irrevocably together.

Award-winning author K.L. Conger, author of the Kremlins trilogy, brings you the origins of the legendary Knights Templar and the romance that inspired them.
