From the burning plains of Syria to the filthy backstreets of Paris and London, Brethren is the story of Will Campbell, coming of age in a time of conspiracy, passion, politics and war.

After years of bloodshed, the Brethren have helped to create an uneasy truce between the Christian and Muslim forces in the Holy Land. But there are those on both sides for whom peace is not an option. And when an assassination attempt is made on the new Grand Master of the Temple, Campbell finds himself caught in a devastating web of deception and destruction as the Eastern world rushes headlong towards a catastrophic conflict.

Enthralling historical novel
I enjoyed the first book on this trilogy, and was totally hooked by this second. I must admit I’m a huge fan of J.Keeble, his narration, in my view was first class. I’ve always found the time line of the crusades rather confusing. Robyn Young has not only written a gripping story of political and religious intrigue, but also clarified how the crusades began and ended. I’m looking forward to listening to the final book. I would definitely listen to these books again.
