Synopsis: A rousing conclusion to an unforgettable saga—the story of a Swedish warrior’s transformative journey and the enduring love that founded a nation.One of the fiercest and most feared warriors of the Knights Templar, Arn de Gotha can finally return home to his beloved Sweden, now that Jerusalem has been lost to Saladin. But during his twenty years of exile, Arn’s homeland has been torn apart by warring clans—and the brave nobleman soldier is determined to reunite it and establish lasting peace.Waiting for him is his beloved Cecilia, emerging from a convent to join him after their unfathomably long separation, against the stern demands of her clan. Their reunion could incite a war unless they can convince the clan that love ranks higher than politics, and that it can sustain a new quest: to create a new people, a new society, with Arn at its helm.
