Book 1
The exciting first book in a brand new fictional trilogy about the most important events in the history of the Order of the Knights Templar. He swore eternal allegiance to the Order -- but at what cost? It is 1088 and young knight Hugh de Payens joins the Order, an ancient society wreathed in secrecy whose alliances unite France's most prominent families in a bond more sacred than even their loyalty to king and country. Soon Hugh is hurled into the nightmarish world of the First Crusade, but the blood-soaked brutality he witnesses there repels him. He resolves to remain in the Holy Land but dedicate the rest of his life to God, not war, forming an order of monks committed to protecting pilgrims on the road to Jerusalem. But the Order has not forgotten Hugh, and charges him and his brother Knights with a near-impossible task: to find and bring home the lost treasure of the Order. There's just one problem.The treasure contains revelations so dangerous it could destroy the Kingdom of Jerusalem -- and the mighty Catholic Church itself!

Book 2
Jack Whyte’s thrilling Templar Trilogy continues with Standard of Honor, in which oaths of loyalty and obedience are weighed against the virtues of honour and nobility. As the deadly Crusades rage on, Christian forces are easily destroyed by the armies of Saladin. Among the Knights Templar are two cousins: Alexander Sinclair, a spy for the ancient Brotherhood of Sion, and André St. Clair, a young man forced to escape his homeland when he is wrongfully accused of a crime. But further trouble comes in the form of the new English King, Richard the Lionheart, whose duplicitous ways and fierce temper lead to a shocking and vicious betrayal of one of his own best men. In this dramatic second instalment of the Templar Trilogy, our heroes find themselves unsure whether their true enemy stands against them … or amongst them.
