The autumn throne by elizabeth chadwick6/30/2023 The opulent Jerusalem Court of the the 1100’s provides the perfect scope for Chadwick to weave her magic. Rather such passages are a delight to the readers senses. At no point does any description feel laboured or over long. What has always struck me about Elizabeth Chadwick’s writing is her amazing eye for detail, and Templar Silks is no exception. Through his rich and vivid memories, some sensuous, many disturbing Chadwick recreates this incredible and evocative time in history. Whilst waiting for his Templar Silks to be delivered to him, William prepares himself for what lies ahead by recalling a lost time his pilgrimage to the Holy Land to lay the cloak of his Lord, Henry the Young King on Christ’s tomb. Realising this illness will be his last William knows it is time to fulfil his vow, made long ago in Jerusalem, to become a Templar Monk. Having served loyally as a Knight at the court Henry II, William is reaching the end of his long life. Templar Silks continues the story of William Marshall. Thank you to Sourcebooks for an Advance Reader Copy. Having discovered Elizabeth Chadwick through her wonderful Eleanor of Aquitaine Trilogy I was delighted to be able to review Templar Silks, due for publication 4th June 2019.
