To save his soul William Marshal takes the perilous road to Jerusalem, but the greatest danger he faces there is losing his heart.
Engl&, 1219. Lying on his deathbed, William Marshal, England's greatest knight, sends a trusted servant to bring to him the silk Templar burial shrouds that returned with him from the Holy Land thirty years ago.
It is time to fulfil his vow to the Templars & become a monk of their order for eternity. As he waits for the shrouds' return, he looks back upon his long-ago pilgrimage with his brother Ancel, & the sacred mission entrusted to them
- to bear the cloak of their dead young lord to Jerusalem & lay it on Christ's tomb in the church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Jerusalem, 1183. In the holiest of all cities, the brothers become embroiled in the deadly politics, devious scheming & lusts of the powerful men & women who rule the kingdom.
Entangled with the dangerous, mercurial Paschia de Riveri, William sets on a path so perilous that there seems no way back for him, or for his brother. Both will pay a terrible price & their only chance to see home again will be dependent on the Templar shrouds.
