A burned road. A vanished caravan. A brotherhood that does not merely kill-but erases.
When Godfrey de Saint-Omer and his companions ride out to investigate a missing pilgrim caravan, they expect bandits, bloodshed, and the usual cruelty of the road.
Instead, they find ash.
No bodies. No names. No clear witness. Only burned wagons, scattered fragments, and a strange mark left behind with terrible purpose.
As the Templars press deeper into the mystery, they uncover a hidden network along the pilgrim roads-men who strike with discipline, mark their victims, and remove more than goods from the dead. They take identity. They take memory. They take names.
For Matthieu, the young recorder of the order, the mission becomes something far greater than escort duty. If the enemy's weapon is erasure, then the answer must be witness. Every fragment, every survivor, every name scratched into stone must be preserved before the road swallows it forever.
But the Ashen Brotherhood is not finished.
And the road they have claimed will not be surrendered easily.
The Road of Ashes is a gripping medieval Christian historical adventure filled with danger, sacred duty, hidden enemies, relics, road warfare, and the growing legacy of the Knights Templar.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- medieval historical fiction
- Knights Templar adventures
- Christian historical fiction
- ancient secrets and hidden brotherhoods
- faith-filled action and suspense
- sweeping series fiction with mystery, danger, and spiritual weight
