Jacques de Molay

For two centuries the Knights Templar stood among the greatest warriors of Christendom. They fought in the Holy Land, built mighty fortresses, and protected pilgrims along the roads of the East.
Jacques de Molay is one of them.
When Acre, the last Crusader stronghold, falls in 1291, the world he has defended all his life begins to collapse. But the greatest threat does not come from the East.
It comes from Europe.
King Philip IV of France moves against the Temple, beginning the trial that will destroy the Order forever.
Through the life of its last Grand Master, this novel recounts the fall of the Templars with historical accuracy and narrative power: the story of a man who, even in defeat, chooses to remain faithful to what he defended all his life.
