"Destined to become a classic, The Road to Jerusalem is a brilliant, dramatic recreation of the medieval world."
--Sharon Kay Penman, New York Times bestselling author of Devil's Brood
Already an international sensation, The Road to Jerusalem by Jan Guillou is the epic story of the Knights Templar. A major bestseller in Europe--with more than two million copies sold in Sweden alone--and the basis for the most lavish and expensive Swedish film ever made, it is a novel Diana Gabaldon calls, "beautifully constructed...skillfully written and translated." Historical fiction lovers, particularly fans of the sweeping, bestselling adventure novels of Bernard Cornwell, will be captivated by this magnificent tale of romance, faith, and battle set against the backdrop of the Crusades.
