Templar Traitor: The Englishman who fought for Genghis Khan

di Angus Donald (Autore)

Canelo, 2025

'Templar Traitor is Donald at the height of his powers. Richly atmospheric, filled with sweeping vistas, blood-pumping action and romance. I couldn't put it down. The highest praise I can give is this: I wish I'd written it myself!' Matthew Harffy, author of the Bernicia Chronicles “Do not lie to me, Templar, or it will be the last thing you do.”July 1241. Western Europe cowers in terror before the threat of a Mongol invasion. The swift cavalry columns of Genghis Khan have smashed the steel-clad warriors of Russia, Poland and Hungary – and now Austria lies directly in their path. At a skirmish outside the walls of Vienna, German knights capture a squad of Mongol scouts and are astonished to discover one of their number is an Englishman – a former Templar – who has been riding with these Devil’s horsemen for more than twenty years. Interrogator Father Ivo of Narbonne is summoned to draw the truth from the prisoner before his impending trial, to find out why he abandoned his faith, his Brethren and his homeland to become… a traitor to Christendom. Based on a true story, this is the first novel in a new blockbuster trilogy from 'master of the genre' Angus Donald. Praise for Templar Traitor "Brimming with action" Adam Lofthouse, author of Eagle and the Flame
