4-6Youngest Templar series.
Shipwrecked in France, Tristan--Knight Templar and keeper of the Holy Grail--falls in love with a Cathar girl. With his companions, archer Robard Hode and assassin maid Maryam, Tristan helps defend the Cathar fortress Montségur. Meanwhile, grail-hungry Sir Hugh is still on his trail. The expansive plot is heavily contrived at points, but fans will enjoy the fast-paced action and sassy comic dialogue.
