On the run from the law . . . in 14th century France

Life as a Templar Knight returning from the Crusades is dull-- bread, beans, and lots and lots of walking. But after Martin stumbles upon his lost love (now married--to someone else), things begin to get more interesting very quickly. There's a vast conspiracy afoot to destroy the Templar Order and steal their treasure. Soon, Martin finds himself one of the only Templars out of prison--and out for revenge!

A swashbuckling story of betrayal, adventure, and an epic swindle, Solomon's Thieves is the first volume in a trilogy written by Jordan Mechner (the creator of the acclaimed Prince of Persia video games) and illustrated by LeUyen Pham and Alex Puvilland.
