Keeper of the Grail is Book Three of The Ancient Bloodlines Trilogy

In this gripping conclusion, the questions are answered, the secrets revealed, and nothing is what it appeared to be

Why is the power elusive?
Following the inconclusive battle, John and Gwen are separated and each has to rely on friends to teach them what they must learn about themselves, and what they represent. The story moves from the intrigues and bloodshed of Antioch to the power struggles in the Crusader capital of Jerusalem, and always there is the merciless desert, where strange things occur: a red haired giant leads the Moslem armies with the deadly Swords of Power; the mystical Owl reappears; and English knights review the concept of nobility.

It is 1117, and the mysterious Knights of the Order seek to use Gwen in the final stage of their ambitions in the Outremer. What they wish to achieve, and how the Grail affects Gwen are just some of the many secrets that are revealed in the final stages of this imaginative and fast-moving story. Only at the end does the reader understand what is meant by the Keeper of the Grail, how the Order fits into history, and how Gwen provides a fascinating enigma in mythology and dogma.
