The Youngest Templar

The orphan Tristan never dreamed that he might see the world, but that changes the day the Knights Templar ride through the abbey on their way to fight in the Holy Land. Overnight, Tristan becomes a squire to Sir Thomas, one of the Templar's most courageous knights. But he also finds himself entrusted with the Holy Grail. Tristan teams up with a young archer a deadly Al Hashshashin warrior. But even with their help, can he safely bring the Holy Grail back to England?

Washed up on a foreign shore, Tristan is lucky to be alive. As before, it seems to be a miracle - the Holy Grail the young Templar squire is protecting has saved his life yet again. But now he is lost in a strange land, and he doesn't know if his friends, the fiery archer Robard Hode and the Saracen assassin maid Maryam, still survive. Tristan's knack for getting into trouble is alive and well, though, and he quickly finds himself drawn into a conflict between a heretical band of Cathars and the oppressive King of France.

Tristan and his companions - the fiery archer Robard Hode and the assassin maid Maryam - have escaped to England. But tragedy has occurred to Tristans beloved abbey while they were on the Third Crusade, and Robards home in Sherwood Forest suffers under the rule of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Many obstacles still prevent them from delivering the Holy Grail into safe hands. Tristan must defeat the evil Sir Hugh in one final battle. And he must learn the secret of his birth.
