Jan Guillou Libri

Secondogenito della nobile Sigrid e di suo marito Magnus, Arn viene al mondo nella Svezia del 1150, divisa in tanti piccoli regni e segnata dal costante scontro di potere tra autorità politiche ed ecclesiastiche. In seguito a un voto dei genitori, viene destinato a un monastero cistercense. Qui, mentre studia i testi religiosi in mezzo ai novizi, impara anche l'uso delle armi, dell'arco e della spada in particolare, sotto la guida di fratello Guilbert, un cavaliere templare ritiratosi a vita monastica. Bello, intelligente e curioso di tutto, Arn si apre senza malizia al mondo: vuole conoscere, fare, viaggiare ma, non appena lascia i monaci per tornare a casa, il destino gli fa incontrare due splendide sorelle. E mentre s'innamora perdutamente di una, Cecilia, si lascia rovinosamente sedurre dall'altra, Katarina... La sua strada lo porterà lontano...

A knight in the Holy Land. A woman in the frozen north. A war that kept them apart... Among the last bastion of God's holy warriors determined to save Jerusalem from the Muslims, Arn Magnusson of the Knights Templar is renowned as a man of compassion, strength, and faith, even among the enemy Saracens–Saladin and his Muslim followers. Yet, neither time nor distance can lessen Arn's pain of separation from his beloved Cecilia; confined to a cloister back home in western GÖtaland, his betrothed, the mother of their newborn son, is a pawn in a war between clans vying for control of the crown. And when an accident of fate brings together Arn and Saladin, an unlikely friendship is forged that will alter the course of the Templar knight's life, and the history of Jerusalem itself.

Wat een overgelopen Russische spion in Zweden vertelt en wat een lid van de Zweedse delegatie in Moskou ziet, zijn twee totaal verschillende dingen, die ogenschijnlijk niets met elkaar te maken hebben. Op het leven van geheim agent Carl Hamilton, alias Coq Rouge hebben ze echter een dramatische invloed.
