KNIGHTS OF THE TEMPLE
Created in 1119 A.D. to guard pilgrims in the Holy Land,
by 1314 A.D. the mystic Knights Templar were the warrior elite of Christendom.
Only the combined treachery of King, Pope, and Inquisition could break the
Templars' power. But no one could discover their secrets. And many believed
the Templars were either the embodiment of God -- or of absolute evil.
MYSTERY OF THE KNIGHTS
Were they noble crusaders -- or servants of the demon
Baphomet? Were they merely soldiers -- or wielders of the Seal of Solomon, the
True Cross, the Shroud, the Grail, and the talking head of John the Baptist?
Were they destroyed 700 years ago -- or did they flourish in secret? Are the
Knights of the Temple shadows of the ancient past -- or living occult members?
The author of the classic bestselling Deryni series
has gathered nine original stories by top talent of the fantastic -- Katherine
Kurtz, Poul Anderson, Elizabeth Moon, Deborah Turner Harris, and others -- to
explore the most mystic and mysterious army ever.
