After the crusader army is destroyed at Hattin in 1187, the wounded Templar Alexander Sinclair escapes the execution of captured knights by concealing his identity. Two years later, Richard I prepares to lead the Third Crusade, and the St. Clair family is again drawn east through Sir Henry, his son André and their connection to Alexander.
Their stories unfold across the rivalries of the crusading leadership and the Templars’ struggle to recover from catastrophe. Service to king, order and secret brotherhood demands incompatible loyalties as Richard confronts Saladin, forcing the St. Clairs to decide whether obedience remains honourable when the men directing the war pursue power as fiercely as Jerusalem.
