The Brethren are a number of Protestant Christian religious bodies using the word "brethren" in their names.In some cases these similarities of name reflect roots in the same early Brethren groups,and in others the adoption of "Brethren" as part of the name reflects an independent choice to evoke the concept of religious brotherhood (especially fraternal religious or military orders).

Will Campbell longs to become a Knight Templar,but first he must serve as apprentice to the foul-tempered scholar Everard,a man of dangerous secrets.Amir Baybars has fought his way from slavery to become a fearsome commander,driven by an unquenchable desire to free his people from the European invaders of the Holy Land.

These two men are destined to co'llide,in that extraordinary clash of civilizations known in the West as the Crusades.
