Product Description

1295 AD. The Christian empire in the Holy Land lies in ruins.

Returning to Paris, Templar Knight Will Campbell is at a crossroads. He has sworn to uphold the principles of the Anima Templi, a secret brotherhood within the Order whose aim is peace - but peace seems ever more impossible.

The Temple has forged an alliance with Will's enemy, King Edward of England, vowing to help him wage war on Scotland. This pact against his homeland strikes at the core of Will's faith and allegiances, while his growing estrangement from his daughter, Rose, leads her into a dangerous affair.

Will now faces a bitter choice: to stay with the Temple and fight another war he doesn't believe in, or to break his vows and forge his own path to peace - even if that too means fighting - for the Scots.

Soon caught up in bloody conflict, Will is unaware that an even more ominous threat is rising, for there is a warrior king on the throne of France whose desire for supremacy knows no bounds and who will stop at nothing to fulfil his twisted ambitions.

The fight for the Holy Land has ended.  The Temple's last battle has just begun. (20070901)

5.0 out of 5 stars Gruelling, Gritty, Great, 9 Nov 2008
There are a couple of things you need to know about this book/series if you have not come across this author before, firstly when I started this trilogy a few years ago it was sold as 'for fans of Bernard Cornwell', this in itself is somewhat mis-leading, the two authors have totally and utterly different writing styles, the only thing they have in common is that they are both historical novelists. However don't let this put you off, each of the books covers a far greater space of time than Cornwell usually covers but Robyn Young deals with this effortlessly she wraps her tale around historic events effortlessly but in such a way that enthralls the reader.

The next point worth noting is that this is a massive read, but well worth it, I expected to take about 3 weeks to get through this, infact I finished it in a week, the story just compells you to carry on.

If you are considering this as a stand alone novel then I still feel you will enjoy it, but emplore you to read the whole trilogy.

Out of Brethren, Crusade and Requiem I have to say that Requiem is by far my favourite, I loved the portrayal of Sir William Wallace, far better than the character portrayed in Braveheart. We also read about Kings, Popes and a variety of other true characters each of which the author brings to life with what appears the greatest of ease.

If you like historical fiction and haven't tried Robyn Young then you really should give her a go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will Campbell for James Bond!, 24 Nov 2008
I was bursting waiting for this to be released having read the first two books and absolutely loved them. This was a period in history which was not covered in depth at school, and it was totally fascinating to discover more about what actually went on, when it is often purely portrayed as romantic and heroic, and ignores the brutality and sacrifice which was always present. In Will Campbell, Ms Young has created a character that you love but sometimes want to slap to break him out of his stubborn streak, but this partly makes the reader not want to put the book down and can't wait to see what happens next. He has more adventures and near death scrapes than all the James Bond put together, but you go with the flow being so wrapped up in his story. Agree with previous reviewer re the description of his involvement with Wallace and what he went through to try and achieve his aim. I loved this and will no doubt start re reading all three again very shortly, and look forward to the next book from Ms Young, whichever period it will be set in, I am sure it will be a 'must' read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!!, 10 Nov 2008
By A. Harsono "andrianharsono" (Sunbury, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What Robyn Young has always excelled at was to take a list of real historical events and then connect them in a beautifully flowing work of fiction and she has done it once again. The complex relationship between kings, popes and knights of the time was brought to life and Will Campbell's story of intrigue and betrayal was fantastically told.

While "Crusade" was my personal favourite, "Requiem" brought about a fitting and wonderful end to Will's private life, struggle for peace and his largely futile efforts on behalf of the Anime Templi.

How sad that the trilogy has come to an end. I have always loved historical fiction and this trilogy has proven why readers should start getting into it. Not only have these books thrilled me, they have also educated me about the Templars and the Crusades. More than once, I have reached out to Wikipedia to help me better appreciate the context surrounding the events in the book. I would like to think now that I can tell my friends some things about the Templars and do so with some authority :-)

I hope Ms Young continues writing her excellent books. I shall look forward to them.
