The siege is ending. The greatest battle is yet to come.
Jerusalem, 1187.
As the armies of Saladin tighten their grip on the Holy City, Sir Lucien de Montfort and his fellow Knights Templar prepare for a battle they cannot afford to lose. While war rages above the ancient streets, an unexpected assignment beneath the Temple Mount draws Lucien into a forgotten labyrinth where strange inscriptions, hidden chambers, and long-buried secrets challenge everything history claims to know.
With each passing day, the siege grows more desperate. Supplies dwindle, walls begin to fail, and time is running out. Torn between his duty to defend Jerusalem and a mystery that refuses to remain buried, Lucien must choose where his loyalty truly belongs before the city-and its secrets-are lost forever.
Richly researched and vividly imagined, The Long Road Home is the first novel in an epic historical fiction series blending authentic medieval history, unforgettable characters, and a compelling mystery that will stay with readers long after the final page.
