Description
The Master Templar: A Clash of Steel and Faith In the early 12th century, a band of Seljuk Turks led by Ab u Waleed set up camp near the Holy City of Jerusalem. Their plan was to pillage a large group of pilgrims from Paris, France. The year marked the first year of the newly formed Knights of the Temple, also known as the Templars. These knights were dedicated to protecting pilgrims on their way to the Holy City. Two men led the Templars: Hugh de Payans and Matthew of Gaza, both with the title of Master of the Temple. Lord Matthew was known for his strength and bravery, earning him the nickname "the Hammer of God". The Knights Templar had a chance to demonstrate their famous "Crushing Wedge" attack in this battle, which would be their first major engagement. As the Turkish Army prepared for battle, they were unaware of the surprise that awaited them. The Templars struck with force and precision, leaving a lasting impression on their enemies. This is the fifth book in the Knights Templar series, where the reader will experience the excitement of the Templars' early battles.
