On Friday, October 13, 1307, Sir William St. Clair faces the end of the Temple Order as King Philip of France arrests every Templar in the country, seizing the Order's assets to save himself from bankruptcy. But as their world falls apart, a few brave men undertake the dangerous task of smuggling the legendary Temple Treasure out from under the nose of a greedy and vindictive king. St. Clair flees to Scotland, where he leads the surviving Templars as they train in secrecy for a return to France. But as the years pass, they come to see that they will never be able to go back and that their Order is doomed. In defiance of the enemies who betrayed the Order, St. Clair summons his men to fight as Temple Knights one last time, at Bannockburn, Scotland, in support of Robert Bruce, the King of Scots who gave them sanctuary. In the aftermath of that victory, St. Clair leads his men away in search of another legend, the fabled land that lies beyond the Western Ocean.
I finally finished this brick of a book! I enjoyed it, but it did take me three weeks to get through. It was a pretty good conclusion to the series, but I didn't like it as much as the first two.
