Faith, love and destiny forge a warrior

Very Good Condition – light cover and edge wear.

In twelfth-century Sweden, Arn Magnusson is born into a powerful family but raised in a monastery after surviving a childhood accident. There he receives an education far beyond that of most young nobles and is trained in warfare by a former knight, developing skills that will shape his future. When Arn returns to the world beyond the cloister, he falls in love with Cecilia, yet family rivalries, political ambition and a grave transgression tear them apart. Sent away to serve as a Knight Templar in the Holy Land, Arn begins a long journey through faith, conflict and divided loyalties. Jan Guillou blends sweeping historical detail with adventure and romance in the opening volume of the Crusades Trilogy, tracing how a sheltered boy becomes a formidable warrior caught between personal devotion and the forces of history.
