Summary
To save his soul, William Marshal takes the perilous road to Jerusalem, but the greatest danger he faces there is losing his heart.
England, 1219. Lying on his deathbed, William Marshal, England's greatest knight, sends a trusted servant to bring to him the silk Templar burial shrouds that returned with him from the Holy Land 30 years ago. It is time to fulfil his vow to the Templars and become a monk of their order for eternity.
As he waits for the shrouds' return, he looks back upon his long-ago pilgrimage with his brother Ancel and the sacred mission entrusted to them - to bear the cloak of their dead young lord to Jerusalem and lay it on Christ's tomb in the church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Jerusalem, 1183. In the holiest of all cities, the brothers become embroiled in the deadly politics, devious scheming and lusts of the powerful men and women who rule the kingdom. Entangled with the dangerous, mercurial Paschia de Riveri, concubine of the highest churchman in the land, William sets on a path so perilous that there seems no way back for him or for his brother. Both will pay a terrible price, and their only chance to see home again will be dependent on the Templar shrouds.
In this glorious adventure, best-selling author Elizabeth Chadwick sweeps the listener to medieval Jerusalem in a story perfect for fans of Ken Follett and Philippa Gregory.

Templar Silks
A superb story which was so well narrated by Johnathan Keeble. The story transported me to the different locations and the writing was so descriptive that I felt that I was there in the action of the events.

Beautifully written and very well narrated.
I found this story to be believably written and a wonderful addition to Elizabeth Chadwicks first book about William Marshall. (although it stands alone in its own merit).
Full of rich descriptions of Jerusalem and contrasting scenes of the later time in Caversham, I was particularly drawn to the carefully worded descriptions of the dying man in his last days. Very insightfully portrayed.
This story is extremely well read by Jonathan Keebler. I have truly enjoyed every word and shall seek out further books he has narrated. Recommended.

Performance 👌🏼
Jonathan Keeble is pretty much my favourite narrator and again this book is worth listening too purely for his performance.
I really enjoyed the story too although it tailed off a little bit toward the end. However , enjoyable and and historically interesting overall particularly if you are interested in Crusader Jerusalem. I would recommend

Loved it!
This was one of my Book Club's books, else I would never have read it - and I am so pleased that I did. I could scarce put it down, and will certainly read more by this author.
It was very well told, and was both an adventure tale and a love story, and it made me cry.
So interesting to look into the mind of a Medieval person, and the totally different way they regarded life, death and afterlife. It made me think about my own priorities.

A brilliant story well told
I enjoyed this from start to finish. Believable characters in an interesting story. Jonathan Keeble gave his usual excellent performance and has a voice which is second to none for audiobooks.
