Description: With The Iron Lance, Stephen Lawhead began an extraordinary, masterfully woven epic trilogy of a Scottish noble family fighting for its existence and its faith during the age of the Crusades. Steeped in valor, subversion, and the pandemonium of battle, this series traces five generations of knights and noblemen over a span of almost one hundred years. The Celtic Crusades examines a crucial period of church history, melding the military and sacred history of the Crusades with the domestic dramas of the Scottish clan Sinclair. Set against a backdrop of the declining Holy Roman Empire and its ruinous wars with the Saracen East, this series offers an exciting and dramatic reading experience.

The Black Rood begins many years after the events described in The Iron Lance, with Murdo, the courageous warrior from that novel, now a grandfather and a wealthy landowner. His brother, Torf, who stayed behind in the Holy Land to win his fortune through conquest, returns home to die. And thus begins the thrilling chain of events that will lead Murdo and his family into the search for a piece of the very cross upon which Christ died.
