Publisher Description
A murder in a far off castle. A deadly struggle to survive… An intense and gripping Medieval thriller.
In the depths of winter at an ancient German castle, high up in the mountains, a noble is found dead under mysterious circumstances.
Back at Rourell, Arnau is taking on the responsibilities of a full Templar Knight. But when he is tasked with returning Brother Lütolf’s papers to settle a legal dispute between his family and the Order, Arnau is unexpectedly drawn into the killing at the castle. Here he enters a dark game of knives and double-crosses.
Trapped in the ice-bound fortress, mastery of the sword is no longer enough. This is a different kind of war: one of shadows and whispered threats. Arnau must use all the guile he possesses, or risk succumbing to an icy tomb.
The latest instalment of S.J.A. Turney’s unputdownable and bestselling Knights Templar series, The Winter Knight is perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Ben Kane and Christian Cameron.
Customer Reviews
This was fast, well-plotted, and difficult to put down…
I loved Book One in this series but struggled with the second and third because I felt Turney became too professorial within the plot lines: I felt he rambled on pedantic tangents that did little to help move the story along. Gratefully, this book returns to his better storytelling side while still taking us to a historical era and place that is fascinating and interesting to read about. I’m looking forward to Book Five!
