Bestselling author Jack Whyte's brilliant new trilogy begins in 1088 with a powerful allegiance of French knights whose sons, on reaching manhood, join the Order, a secret society cloaked in mystery.

Soon after his initiation into the Order, Hugh de Payens is swept into the madness of the First Crusade, where he is horrified by the slaughter of civilians and the savagery of his fellow soldiers. Determined to dedicate his life to atonement, Hugh decides to use his military training for God's purpose and founds The Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ - an order of monks dedicated to protecting pilgrims on the road to Jerusalem. But the Order has other plans for Hugh and his brothers, and soon The Poor Fellows find themselves charged with an outlandish and dangerous task - a seemingly impossible mission to uncover a hidden treasure that might not only destroy the Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem but also shatter the might of the Church itself.

A little about Whyte, Jack

Jack Whyte was born in Scotland and migrated to Canada in 1967. Since then he has worked as a teacher of English, a musician/folk singer/entertainer, an actor, an advertising executive and creative director, a corporate communications specialist and a consultant in the use of simple, effective language and communication techniques in business — all of them extensions and illustrations, in one way or another, of his lifelong story-telling abilities. Since 1992, there have been six titles published in his critically acclaimed "Dream of Eagles" cycle: The Skystone, The Singing Sword, The Eagles' Brood, The Saxon Shore, and The Sorcerer, which was published in two volumes: The Fort At River's Bend, and Metamorphosis
