About this listen

For power. For passion. For glory.

The epic story of the Knights Templar.

Born in 1150 to a noble Swedish family and coming of age at a monastery under the tutelage of a Cistercian monk and a former Knight Templar, young Arn Magnusson is sent to fulfill his destiny beyond the cloister walls. But the world awaiting him is a place at odds with his monastic ways. And when the murder of a king engulfs Western Götaland into a whirlwind of intrigue and ruthless power plays, headstrong and naive Arn is forced to leave the woman he loves behind and take up arms to battle infidels in the Holy Land.

Fenominal!

If you are a fan of the movies or have only watched them i highly recommend this trillogy. My only complaint is the prenounciations are a bit off but hey, their Sweedish names so not a biggie😁

Great read

Well read and a great storyline. One that after a while draws you in and keeps you in suspense. Look forward to reading the next chapter in Arns journey.

Great story!

Vibes of Lord of the Rings. Narrator should study a minimum of Swedish pronouncination. That is the only backside....

Highly recommended

Don't be put off if you find the start a bit slow. This is a book which gets better and better the more you get into the story. It is the first book in a really amazing trilogy, which is one of my all time favourites. And book 2 is even better.

Great Story set in medieval Sweden

So well written I felt I was there. It was made into a top TV mini-series and then a Film in Sweden called “Arn: Knight Templar” in 2007. Enjoy!
