In the volatile world of the 12th century, English knight Sir Geoffrey de Lacy is summoned to Jerusalem to investigate his mentor's murder. What begins as a quest for justice plunges him into a centuries-old conspiracy when he discovers that both the Vatican and the Templar Order are hunting a legendary relic. With Jerusalem under siege by Saladin's advancing armies, Geoffrey forms an unlikely alliance with Elara, a brilliant scholar with mysterious connections to the sword's ancient guardians, and William, a chronicler with dangerous knowledge. A sweeping historical thriller in the tradition of "The Name of the Rose" and "Pillars of the Earth," THE SWORD OF FAITH weaves real historical events with a gripping tale of intrigue, faith, and betrayal. As Jerusalem falls and empires clash, Geoffrey and his companions discover that the most powerful truth transcends the boundaries between religions—a revelation as dangerous now as it was nine centuries ago.
