Overview

For power. For passion. For glory.

The epic story of the Knights Templar.

Born in 1150 to a noble Swedish family and coming of age at a monastery under the tutelage of a Cistercian monk and a former Knight Templar, young Arn Magnusson is sent to fulfill his destiny beyond the cloister walls. But the world awaiting him is a place at odds with his monastic ways. And when the murder of a king engulfs Western Götaland into a whirlwind of intrigue and ruthless power plays, headstrong and naive Arn is forced to leave the woman he loves behind and take up arms to battle infidels in the Holy Land.

The first book in the international bestselling Crusades Trilogy, this thrilling epic of betrayal, faith, blood, and love sets "a Shakespearian quest for power" (Corriere della Sera, Italy) against the backdrop of the Holy Wars, witnessed through a vibrant, unorthodox lens.

    For historical fiction aficionados this is an interesting topic for that historical timeframe. Who knew the Goths in Scandinavia were part of the crusades.

    An interesting look at the life of the Goths in the Middle Ages. Particularly in Scandinavia. Home life, religion, govenment all intertwined in a story of a young boy brought up in a monastery to become a warrior and travel to the Holy Land as a Knight Templar.

    Not bad...not good. Kinda easy absorbing.

    I was sick of what I was reading and needed a quick change, this was it...I was not sure but I took a chance. The choice was ok, esay read, somewhat interesting...Sweden and the Crusades, Scandanavia, human nature. Royal characters and the thralls and monasteries.

    Terrific Summer Reading

    This is one of the best books that I have read in years and immediately set me out on a quest for the second book in the trilogy. I might have to learn Spanish!!!

    a fabulous historical thriller

    In 1150 Sweden Arn Magnusson is born; the second son of an aristocratic Swedish family. While still a child, he is air lifted by a rock, which when he lands below the castle should have killed him. Instead he returns from the dead leading his parents to believe he is special especially with the hair covering his forehead from the day he was born. His parents send Arn to a monastery where the monks teach him to read and write. However former knight, Brother Guilbert becomes his mentor teaching him archery and swordplay as well as guiding him into understanding the metaphysical spiritual realm.---------------

    Arn is attracted Cecilia; especially loving her voice when she sings. However Cecilia's jealous sister Katarina seduces Arn and subsequently confesses her sin. Excommunicated for his transgressions Arn is sentenced to serve his penitence as a Knight Templar for two decades in the Holy Land. ----------

    The aptly named THE ROAD TO JERUSALEM (Arn is still in Europe by book's end) is a fabulous historical thriller that provides a refreshing perspective on twelfth century religion and society in Sweden. Arn is a terrific lead character who holds the vivid story line together; the support cast enhances the deep look into Swedish medieval society while also propelling the plot forward. Crusades historical readers will appreciate this opening gamut and anxiously await the hero's return hopefully in Jerusalem.------------

    I learned about Swedish history

    Though billed as a novel about the Knights Templar this opening novel is more about the fight for the Swedish crown in the 1100's. The love story dominates and really the second novel in this series is more about the Knights Templar as the Christians lose hold of the holy land.
