The Templar Vault by Scott Chapman
With almost 200 Amazon ratings the Templar Vault is a huge hit with readers of historical fiction. The book follows the path of Peter Sparke, a modern day amateur historian who is drawn into a search for the final refuge of history's most famous secret organizations.
We travel back and see the final death-throws of the once mighty Order as the final remnants of their forces flee into the Scottish Highlands, beyond the reach of the Church with their most precious possessions.
Reviewers say:
"I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for more in the series. I have read other books about the knights Templar but this one was by far the best."
"I gave this book a five star rating because of its ability to captivate from the outset and carry interest throughout."
"A truly fast and fun read....fascinating"
"The writing is excellent, I particularly like the author's way of weaving two stories, hundreds of years apart, into a highly interesting whole. Looking forward to the next in the series."
