The
immortal Knights of the Council of Twelve comprise the ruling body of the
clandestine Order of the Red Cross of Gold, Poor Knights of Solomon's Temple.
Some of them have been around since the Crusades in the Holy Lands, secretly
directing, aiding and abetting world events that they believe will eventually
culminate in the ultimate confrontation of Good and Evil at Armageddon. As
Knights of Christ, they live, fight and die safely as God's executioners in the
service of the Master of the Universe.
Book I:. The Knight of
Death
The Red Cross of Gold is an ancient order of clandestine Templar
Knights left over from the middle ages. A well-worn theme by now, of course, but
these Knights are also left over from the middle ages. In fact, many of them are
left over from even earlier ages. The story begins when one of them, whose job
is dual in nature, Alchemist/Assassin, takes a trip to America in order to
retrieve a deserter. The Grand Master’s Apprentice has broken his vows and run
off with a couple of young women from Texas. Unfortunately, there is more to his
desertion than is first surmised and a high priestess from a rival order is
ready and waiting for him. Using an ancient alchemical solution to subdue the
Assassin leaves him with a muddled brain and an unfortunate loss of memory. As
he falls in love with one of captors, his memory returns in fits and starts by
way of dreams and visions while his other captor tries to pry the secret of
immortality from his highly disturbed mind. Things get much worse when the Grand
Master declares him a possible threat to the order and sends three of his
brethren knights to bring him home with or without his head attached to his
body.
The surface tension is obvious, forbidden love, conflicted hero, naïve
shallow heroine, ruthless antagonists, but there is a hidden conflict within the
Assassin that foreshadows things to come in the Epic Fantasy series: The
Assassin Chronicles. The series spans an entire century, starting in 2000 and
stretching into the future as the mission and origins of the Order of the Red
Cross of Gold and its member knights are revealed. Their tale begins in the
shadows of prehistory and culminates with the coming of the New
Age.
Book II:. The King of Terrors
Mark Ramsay returns to
America bent on marrying the girl he left behind, but things are not well on the
home front. Two members of his ancient Order set themselves on a dangerous
course to stop him at all costs, believing that the marriage will cause the
dissolution of the Order. However, his worst enemy lies much closer to his heart
when his most beloved Brother weighs into the equation on the wrong side. The
Knight of Death places everything on the line as he battles to save the life of
his son and win back the woman he loves.
