Crusade

CRUSADE is the sequel to the bestselling BRETHREN - the most exciting launch in historical adventure since Conn Iggulden. It is 1274 and in the city of Acre, the last major stronghold of the Crusaders, an epic conflict is beginning. Will Campbell is a Templar Knight, trained for war, but as a member of the mysterious Brethren group, he is also a man of peace. After years of bloodshed, the Brethren have ensured a truce between the Christians and Muslims. But Will now fears they have been betrayed as a ruthless cabal of Western merchants is plotting to reignite hostilities in the Holy Land. As war looms, Will is torn between his oath as a Templar, his secret role in the Brethren and his duty to Elwen, the woman he loves but is forbidden to marry.
