Riassunto

THE CRUSADES ARE OVER AND EUROPE IS IN CHAOS. After years fighting in the desert sun - and secretly working for peace with the Brethren - Will Campbell returns to find his Scottish homeland under attack by his enemy, King Edward I. Betrayed by those he has served since boyhood, torn apart watching his daughter plunge into a dangerous affair, Will must now forge his own path to peace - even if it leads through another battlefield. But a new threat is rising in France, where a warrior king will stop at nothing to achieve his twisted ambitions. The fight for the Holy Land is over. But the Temple's last battle has just begun.

Recensione:

Young writes with remarkable accuracy, action-packed efficiency and gut-wrenching violence (The Times)

Satisfyingly complex (Sunday Telegraph)

Compared to Bernard Cornwell's Azincourt, REQUIEM is 'More rollicking, even more fast moving and breathless...so pacy' (Heat's Boyd Hilton, speaking on Radio 5 Live Books Panel)

Fantastic baddies! (Independent on Sunday's Suzi Feay, speaking on Radio 5 Live Books Panel)

An outstanding contemporary writer (Kate Mosse)

El Cid meets The Da Vinci Code! Exciting, page-turning fiction (Simon Mayo's book panel, BBC Radio Five Live on BRETHREN)

A sweeping historical adventure as well as a cracking sequel (Financial Times on CRUSADE)

If you love the Templars, the Crusades, and the Middle Ages, this is the book for you. Robyn Young is an exciting new voice (Sharon Penman on BRETHREN)

One of the best historical debuts in recent memory. Exciting and enthralling, it gripped me from the first page and left me waiting anxiously for the next instalment (John Connolly on BRETHREN)

Swords clash in the first sentence of Young's latest and go on clashing throughout...plenty of action...attention to historical detail...pacy dialogue (The Times on CRUSADE)
