The Templar Chalice — Stephen Donald Huff

On Friday, October 13th of 1307, the Knights Templar ceased to exist. Imprisoned, tortured and executed, in a single day, every soldier of that once-powerful order became a capital offender with no hope for reprieve. Fabulously wealthy at the time, the Templars owned vast estates that safeguarded legendary caches of treasure. Though their enemies seized much of their property, rumors of lost hordes echo through history to the present day. Having survived the disastrous purge of 1307, a Templar sergeant and chaplain flee to the relative safety of Portugal, where they learn the fate of the order's most sacred talisman. Not every legend is a lie.
