Blood of Lions: The brutal war for the Holy Land... (Knights Templar Thrillers Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Daniel Colter (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 53 ratings
The war is intensifying in the Holy Lands! For fans of Ben Kane, Conn Iggulden, Robyn Young, Bernard Cornwell and Christian Cameron.

Sultan Saladin is ready for battle…

Jerusalem, 1186

Baldwin V, the Boy King of Jerusalem, is dead and the nobles of the Crusader States scheme to fill his empty throne.

Alliances are fraying and in the midst of the politicking, the Templars, and their brother order, the Hospitallers, suffer a humiliating defeat at Cresson Springs, weakening both Orders.

All the while, in Damascus, the Sultan Saladin scents blood on the air and prepares to make good on his vows to reclaim the Holy City.

Templar knight Finn of Struan has been tasked with venturing across The Black, the no-man’s land between Christian and Muslim territories, to find Saladin’s war machine and assess its threat.

The balance of power in the Holy Lands is tipping. Two forces are converging on the Horns of Hattin, where the fate of a kingdom will be decided.

Finn must wade into a bloody fight and commit pitiless deeds, while relying on the loyalty of his brothers…

Will Finn emerge victorious? Can the Brotherhood prevail?

Or will Saladin finally fulfil his deadly promise?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Daniel is the author of the Knights Templar thriller series. He has a graduate degree in anthropology/archaeology and worked for twenty-four years as an archaeologist. He traipsed over many a remote, rugged landscape searching for prehistoric sites until life nudged him in a new direction. Now he writes novels. Daniel has a long-held fascination with ancient warfare, medieval history, and old sagas, which he uses as inspiration to spin epic adventure tales.

When not writing, he can be found hunched over an anvil, burning his fingers while trying to make swords and knives. Daniel lives in the mountains of Utah with his wife and two lazy Labrador retrievers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Human Side to the Crusades
    Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024
    Format: Kindle
    Very interesting historical fiction! The Crusades is always a fascinating topic and we cannot always fully understand it and the more human side especially. Authors like Daniel Colter have managed to use fiction to accomplish this very well. Blood of Lions is a great epic and readers will thoroughly enjoy this.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Incompetence & arrogance lead to death
    Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024
    Format: Kindle
    Finn has grown more weary of his obligations, & more wary of the Master Templar. His verbal distrust of him, has led Finn & his men being assigned suicidal missions, of which the Master Templar discounts as worthless intelligence in the war against Saladin. More men die, pawns sacrificed on the ego of the Master Templar Gerard. Finn races to save Emma, finally acknowledging & sharing his deepest feelings for her.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Yet Another Templar Novel
    Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024
    Format: Kindle
    "Blood of Lions: A Brutal War for the Holy Land," is part of a series of books on the Templars and the struggle for the Holy Land. I was provided with an ARC of the text by the publisher, Sapere Books. Candidly. the text leaves me at a loss for how to evaluate it. The author is an archaeologist and the text, in terms of setting, clearly reflects his knowledge in that field. It is well written if rather simplistic stylistically. Accounts of battles are both knowledgable and fascinating and reveal some knowledge of the battle tactics typical of the time, setting and antagonists. The characters seem often almost cartoonish and most of what we learn about them is through rather strained dialogue that puts me in mind of how when you are reading a text about pirates too often everybody is almost reduced to a caricature by overuse of terms like "Argh Matey." The plot is thin and skillful use of vignettes, rather disjointed incidents that seem almost unrelated to any central plot, keeps things moving along. I think the book might be of interest to younger readers with somewhat lower expectations, but that said, I can't recommend it to any except those fascinated with the Templars and the Crusades in general, and even there, better alternatives might exist. For me, it was a rather tedious slog, but I am sure it will find an audience.
