"Destined to become a classic, The Road to Jerusalem is a brilliant, dramatic recreation of the medieval world."
--Sharon Kay Penman, New York Times bestselling author of Devil's Brood
Already an international sensation, The Road to Jerusalem by Jan Guillou is the epic story of the Knights Templar. A major bestseller in Europe--with more than two million copies sold in Sweden alone--and the basis for the most lavish and expensive Swedish film ever made, it is a novel Diana Gabaldon calls, "beautifully constructed...skillfully written and translated." Historical fiction lovers, particularly fans of the sweeping, bestselling adventure novels of Bernard Cornwell, will be captivated by this magnificent tale of romance, faith, and battle set against the backdrop of the Crusades.

"It is thrilling and inspiring; bloody and romantic; utterly of the time it is set in, and utterly of the modern. A thoroughly stirring achievement." - Tom Holland, author of Rubicon: the Triumph and Tragedy of the Roman Republic
"One of the greatest historical novels to come out of Scandinavia in recent years." - Le Monde
"Destined to become a classic, The Road to Jerusalem is a brilliant, dramatic recreation of the medieval world, offering suspense, intrigue, a touching love story, and an extremely appealing young hero. I cannot recommend this book highly enough." - Sharon Kay Penman, New York Times bestselling author of Devil's Brood
"Fans of historical fiction--particularly those with an interest in Crusades era material--simply must read The Road to Jerusalem. The huge international following this series has attracted will only continue to grow." - January Magazine
"A resolutely medieval world-bleak, hidebound, saturated with religious faith, full of both miracles and almost untraceably complex political intrigue-but one shaped with enough compassion and skill to appeal to contemporary readers, who will be eagerly awaiting the next volume of the saga." - Kirkus Reviews
