To Tempt a Knight (The Brotherhood of the Scottish Templars, #1) by Gerri Russell
1331 This book summary fascinated me as I seek information about Templars and what makes them so great and sacred.
This story starts with Sir William and he arrives at the castle to determine the young lady, Siobhan is the only one there. He informs her of others had taken her father.
He had warned her to get the scroll. She has no idea what's on it but had always been told as a young child that it was sacred, his life’s work on it.
Sir William stops her and as they notice a band of men are arriving they head out in a different way. He takes her to the cliff area and they find a cave and she gets to talk a bit about her father, her house that is now burnt to the ground and everything with it, all but the scroll which he had rescued for her.
She hopes to see her father once again and knows Sir William is the only one who can make that happen. He hopes to reunite them and to find out if information on the artifacts is written down on the scrolls as to their location.
They are chased many times over before they get to safe location.
Like travel, purpose of mission, betrayals, loyalty, locations and friends who help, strategies against bad guys and how logic works. Lots of fighting excursions.
Adult situations. Love author's notes at the end and why she wrote the story as she did, so many explanations about mysteries and legends.
Love gift for dedicated garden, so touching! Afterword, I treasure more because it's about the research the author did wrapping history with her story, the intricate details, travels of the Spear. Other works by the author are listed.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
