Tales of the Knights Templar by Katherine Kurtz

Description: 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's 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 Templar shadows of the ancient past or living occult members? The author of the classic bestselling Deryni series has gathered nine original stories by the 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.
