Ordem no Caos

Order in Chaos (Templar Trilogy #3) -- [A Templar Novel #Book Three, © 2009] '-'
Pouco antes do ambicioso e fatídico ataque do rei Filipe IV de França a todos os Comandos da Ordem dos Cavaleiros do Templo, Sir William Sinclair viaja até o Comando de La Rochelle (com seu primo Thomas Sinclair) para advertir os Irmãos presentes. Assim, garante a sobrevivência de uns poucos cavaleiros templários, e da baronesa Jessica Randolph, que parece conhecer a fundo a traição do Rei.

Então, realizam uma fuga para a Escócia em busca do auxílio do rei Robert de Bruce, que trava uma luta pela soberania de seu povo contra a Inglaterra. Com a nova configuração do mundo à sua volta, Will lidera seus homens para um futuro incerto, no qual disfarces precisam ser adotados, votos devem ser quebrados e o segredo de uma terra mítica prometida pode vir à tona. . .

"Order in Chaos" begins just prior to Friday the thirteenth of October 1307, the original Day of Infamy that marked the abrupt end of the Order of the Templars. On that day, without warning, King Philip IV of France sent his armies to arrest every Templar in France in a single morning. Then, with the aid of Pope Clement V, he seized all the Temple assets and set the Holy Inquisition against the Order.

Forewarned at the last minute by the Grand Master himself, who has discovered the king's plot too late to thwart it, Sir William St. Clair flees France with the Temple's legendary treasure, taking with him several hundred knights, along with the Scots-born widow of a French Baron, the Lady Jessica Randolph. As time passes and the evidence of the French King's treachery becomes incontestable, St. Clair finds himself increasingly disillusioned and decides, on behalf of his Order, to abandon the past. He releases his men from their "sacred" vows of papal obedience and leads them into battle as Temple Knights one last time, in support of King Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314: Robert defeated a much larger English army under Edward II of England, confirming the re-establishment of an independent Scottish kingdom. [...] And in the aftermath of victory, he takes his surviving men away in search of another legend: the fabled land, mentioned in Templar lore, that lies beyond the Western Ocean and is known as "Merica"!
