Alabados por su ascetismo, castidad y defensa a ultranza del cristianismo, denostados por los herejes, sodomitas y traidores capaces de vender Tierra Santa a los infieles musulmanes, fuente de inspiración del genio creativo de Wagner en Parsifal y Walter Scott en Ivanhoe, los caballeros templarios formaron uno de los ejércitos más temidos y poderosos de la historia.

La orden de los templarios, cuyos miembros recibían una rígida educación religiosa y militar, se formó en la primera cruzada, tras la conquista de Jerusalén, con el fin de defender de la amenaza musulmana la Ciudad Santa, el templo de Salomón y la los peregrinos que acudían a Tierra Santa. Tal formación se convirtió en el primer ejército estable uniformado en el mundo occidental y alcanzó un elevado poder financiero al desarrollar una forma casi precursora del sistema bancario internacional, cuya influencia se dejó sentir durante dos centurias hasta ser aplastada totalmente por Clemente V en 1312.

Haciendo alarde de su indudable habilidad para plasmar los acontecimientos del pasado, el historiados y novelista Piers Paul Read separa en esta emocionante crónica realidad y ficción y relata con detalle el ascenso y declive de los monjes guerreros, situándonos en un vasto contexto y social.
