About the book: year / "Brave Heart". His father and his grandfather were already one step away from the throne, but their noble family was cursed, and the crown never crowned their proudly raised heads. Robert was left with no choice: instead of the respectful shuffling of the courtiers - the clanging of swords, instead of the dazzling Eve who captivated his young heart at the ball - her ugly sister. But the hour will strike, and he will openly declare his rights to the throne - for the sake of Scotland, in the name of freedom. "Renegade." According to an ancient prophecy, King Edward decides to take possession of four sacred relics. Three of them are already kept in his treasury. But the last one that will pave the way for him to the throne of Scotland is still in the hands of Robert the Bruce. No one has ever been able to stand alone against an entire army of conquerors. Robert was never afraid of death on the battlefield, but what if the battle for power is not fought on the field, but in the palace of the king. "Secret Brotherhood." Mid-13th century. The Crusaders are waging an endless war with their eternal enemies - the Saracens... A brilliant commander is striving for power, vowing to cleanse the lands of the East from European invaders... The powerful Knights Templar are trying at any cost to find their stolen treasure - the mysterious Book of the Grail... These are just a few of the events witnessed and participated in which the young Scotsman Will Campbell is to become - a squire and student of one of the leaders of the order - Sir Evrard. "Crusade". 1274 from the Nativity of Christ. Impregnable Acre is the last stronghold of the crusader knights in Palestine, which they almost lost. The mysterious brotherhood - the top of the Templar Order - is still trying to maintain peace between Christians and Saracens. But their plans and hopes are contradicted by the ambitious aspirations of the monarchs of the West, the fanaticism of the Vatican, which demands the return of the Holy Land... King Edward of England promises the Pope to start a new crusade - and this campaign threatens to develop into a bloody massacre that will claim thousands of lives. A young Scot, Will Campbell, a Knight Templar and a student of one of the leaders of the order, is ready to give his life to prevent the coming catastrophe. But what can he and his friends oppose to the plans of powerful enemies? "Requiem." 1295 from the Nativity of Christ. Acre fell, the last crusader stronghold in Palestine, and the European knights were expelled from the Holy Land. The Grand Master of the Templar Order, Jacques de Molay, does not want to accept defeat. For the sake of organizing a new crusade, he is ready to do anything - even fight on the side of the English King Edward against rebellious Scotland. This mistake could be costly for the order. Scotsman Will Campbell always religiously observed the laws of the Templars. But this time the independence and freedom of his homeland is at stake, and he commits treason by siding with the rebel leader William Wallace. He is ready to defend his native land to the last drop of blood - however, he is forced to fight powerful opponents not with force, but with intelligence and cunning. Contents: 1.
