The Youngest Templar is set in Medieval England and the Holyland. While the plot is set many centuries ago in history, the questions that trouble the main character Tristan are still being asked today. Is war really a glorious pursuit? What ideals are really worth dying for?
Tristan is an orphan, knowing nothing of his parents or origins. He has been brought up by the kindly, hard-working monks at St. Albans abbey. As he nears the age to leave the protection of the monks, Sir Thomas Leuw takes a keen interest in him and hires Tristan to be his squire on a Crusade to recapture the Holyland from the Muslim Saracens. The title refers to the Templar knights, who were the fighting units of the Crusades.
What follows is a thrilling, often violent, story of adventure and narrow escapes. The story ends with more questions than it began about Tristan and the precious treasure that has been entrusted to him.
