Castlemoor - Castlemoor, #1 - E-book - ePub

Sir William Fitz-Walter comes home from crusade to find Castlemoor - his castle in the Scottish borders - in the hands of his father-in-law the Earl of Angus. While crusading against the Saracen, on Outremer (The Holy Land) he had been taken captive, and only released after a ransom equalling 10, 000 pounds scots, was paid by the wily old Earl. Now he has no option but to return to Outremer and try to retrieve a relic of such great spiritual and financial value; his 10, 000 pounds will seem like chicken feed.
However it is by no means sure that the relic does actually exist; or indeed if the present owner will part with it. Although William had hoped to keep the mission secret, the Knights Templar have got wind of it, and they have decided to bankroll his attempts to acquire it if possible. However other factions have also heard the rumour, and are hell bent on snatching the priceless relic for themselves.
Bloody murder, and the schemes and plans of men, ensure that this first adventure of Sir Williams will test your imagination, and your knowledge of 12th century crusader history!
