Nine-year-old Henry inherits the crown. Treachery and rebellion blight the years that follow. The Knights Templar lead the Crusades and the horrors of the Inquisition rage. One man stands both participant and the rebel Lancastrian Baron Frederick de Banastre. Formidable in size and fighting prowess, and lifelong friend of Richard the Lionheart, Frederick is a force to be reckoned with. Frederick saw King John’s schemes, and now sees the threats to England and the young king. Frederick’s son, Alaric, is a Knight’s Templar who shares a damning secret about Christ’s Shroud. Meanwhile Frederick’s grandsons, Robert and Thurstan, uncover a plot to poison the king. Although the king may not be popular, the de Banastres plan to keep him alive.
