Fabulous!
This is an amazing story of the fourth carriage r and the siege and saving of Constantinople, told through the eyes of two Template knights. The third instalment of this stunning series, it is crammed full of action and drama, with incredible, sweeping battle scenes and intriguing insights into the murky world of medieval relic hunting. Highly recommended!

Solid third installment
I am enjoying Turney's telling of the important events from this period of history and the involvement (or potential involvement) of the Templars in each. I am also enjoying our view into the maturation of Arnau and his tutelage from multiple mentors. I will pursue the next chapter when it is available. ...more

Another Good Read
Turney does not disappoint. Impossible to put down, as it's so cleverly paced. Can't wait to read the next instalment! One caveat: The endless Biblical quotes are wearisome, as they were in the previous two books. ...more

Simon lives with his wife and children and a menagerie of animals in rural North Yorkshire, where he sits in an office, wired on coffee and digestive biscuits, and attempts to spin engrossing tales out of strands of imagination while his children drive toys across his desk and two dogs howl as they try to share a brain cell.
