This was the very good story of Michel Faurer, a french born former knight of the Templar and Madeleine de Courtnay, a young convent raised English beauty. He meets her when she rescues him from drowning, near her brother's castle. The Templars are being persecuted by everyone except for the Scots. The story follows the hero and heroine on their adventures and ordeals. I am not going to give it all away here but the book is a keeper in my opinion. The ending was a little abrupt, I thought, and no epilogue, probably because there are more books in the series.

I have read this book so many times over. I first read this book in 2000?. When I lost my copy I was heartbroken. But I got it back! And found there are three books that follow!
