Templars Twain

by John Walker

In year 1307, King Philippe IV decided to crush the Knights Templar, the Christian military order so prominent in medieval society. Officially, it was to rid France of heresy and devil worshippers; those in the king's inner circle, however, knew Philippe, deep in debt, wanted to lay claim to the Templars' vast wealth.
The young Templar Michel Jouhé and his senior commander managed to flee the clutches of the king's men, and after a long, arduous journey they arrived at the stronghold of the Teutonic Order in Prussia, safe at last.
Seven hundred years later, in London, Michael Goddard has decided to visit a hypnotherapist to make sense of the many incidents of déjà vu he's been having lately. What he is about to learn, he couldn't have imagined in his wildest dreams.
