I am loving Gy Waldron’s first published book. Once I saw that the synopsis mentioned the Knights Templar, I was in! I truly enjoyed Waldron’s writing style. He really pulled me into the story and left me wanting more. This book was a hard one to put down. He did a fabulous job of fleshing out his characters and making the reader empathize and fall in love with them. The book alternates between the year 2010 and 700 years prior following the Holy Wars. Brychan, a Templar, is charged with protecting a chest and its secret contents that he is to transmit across Europe with his life. While doing so, he keeps a journal about his adventure and all the colorful people he meets along the way. Little does he know that this same journal will cause much scheming and death 700 years later in Santa Barbara, CA for a modern-day monk and a police detective that will do anything she can to keep him safe and help him translate the diary and locate the Templar Chest. This amazing story spans 700 years, 2 continents and many countries. I found the story intriguing and thought provoking. I recommend this book to anyone who is a history buff and enjoys reading books by authors like Dan Brown. Thanks so much to Gy Waldron, Definitive Words Publishing, and Book Sirens for trusting me to give an honest review on this advanced reading copy. I truly loved this book and look forward to Waldron’s next published adventure.
