The year is 1290. At the twilight of the Crusades, war-weary
Knight Templar Jonathan St. Clair is garrisoned in the port city of Acre in the
Holy Land. In possession of an ancient scroll with a cryptic inscription, he
learns that it holds the key to unlock the secrets of Jerusalem's Temple Mount.
But time is running out. Acre will soon come under siege,
and the one man able to divine the scroll's meaning, Rabbi Samuel of Baghdad,
has been targeted for assassination. St. Clair apprentices himself to Rabbi
Samuel and together they travel to Jerusalem. On their pilgrimage, they are
hunted by scheming emirs in the service of a bitter enemy of Rabbi Samuel. But
they are aided in their quest by others: a brilliant young scholar, Isaac of
Acre; a powerful young Scotsman, William Wallace; a learned Muslim mathematician,
physician, and cartographer, al-Hasani; and a beautiful independent-minded
woman, Zahirah, who avoids serving in an emir's harem by hiding in a leper
colony on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.
Rabbi Samuel, St. Clair and the others will risk everything
to fulfill their shared and sacred destiny as guardians of the Temple Mount.
