The Crown of Aragon and Almohad Iberia, around 1200. Arnau de Vallbona serves the Knights Templar in a frontier society where castles, towns and noble households are tied to the continuing war between Christian and Muslim powers. A young woman caught in the violence forces him to look beyond the order’s official duties.
Arnau’s attempt to protect her brings him into conflict with men who use crusading language to conceal private ambition. Pursuit across contested territory reveals the Templars as soldiers, landholders and political intermediaries. His loyalty to the order survives, but no longer excuses obedience when command conflicts with justice.
