The Knights Templar
They had all joined taking three vows: poverty, chastity, and obedience…for they were monks: warrior monks, dedicated to theprotection of pilgrims in the Holy Land -- until stories spread by anavaricious king who wanted their wealth for his own destroyed the order.
There was one knight, however, who escaped the stake, vowing justiceas he watched his innocent brothers die.
In the Service of the Lord
Simon Puttock has not been bailiff of Lydford Castle long in this year of 1316, when he is called to a nearby village to examine a burned-out cottage and the dead body within. But it is the newly arrived knight, Sir Baldwin Furnshill, who discerns the deceased was no victim of a tragic mishap; he was, in fact, murdered prior to the blaze. Simon would be well-served by accepting further assistance from this astute, though haunted and secretive stranger. For a second fatal burning indicates that some harsh evil has invaded this once-peaceful place, and its hunger has yet to be sated.

Missing the ending
This was an interesting story. I found however, that I could figure out what was going to happen, way before I read it happen.
In this ebook format, the book ends, by discussing Brewer's son Morgan, by saying that he would, "stay in Exeter and con-". Those are the last words. I will have to find this book in the bookstore and read the ending myself.
Great Series!!
This, and all of the series, to include the recently released prequel to the series, Templars Acre (can be read independent of the series but is a treat if you have not read the series). I also have Jecks’ various titles outside of this historic genre to include Act of Vengeance, a modern spy novel. For those who like hard copies, Jecks’ new publisher (Simon & Schuster UK) is obtaining the rights to the early series titles and reprinting them. I also recommend both Michael Jecks’ website and Facebook pages.
