This book has everything! Romance, intrigue, deceit, Religious persicution, War... with a discription and belief in honor, love and God that parellel my own beliefs. This book has been a multiple read for me and I will probably read it many, Many more times.

This is perhaps my all-time favorite book. It has everything; war, romance, religious intolerance, second chances and redemption. Every time I have lent this book out, I have lost it, because to read it is to fall in love with it...

As a historian, I can tell you that the author knows his history; there are no glaring errors the likes of which keep me from reading most historical fiction. As a writer, I can tell you that the author knows how to write. As a die-hard romantic, I can tell you that this books satisfies at levels of my soul that remain untouched by most novels.

You can access the book online at http://bobshea.net/all_things_are_lights.html. The author's son as posted the book with a license through Creative Commons. But do yourself a favor and track down a copy. You'll want to own and return to this world again and again...

Historical fiction has romance, intrigue, spies, torture, war and the Knights Templar. Takes place during the Inquistion and France's religious crusade into Egypt. The book revolves around a wandering troubadour/knight and the two women he has loved, both unattainable; and the knight he hates and wants to kill, but cannot because he is close to the King.

Very historical detailed book.

A very enjoyable book...Don't be thrown off by the title, you'll find out what it means while reading the book.

Highly Recommended!!

I know that it seems ridiculous that everyone who has reviewed this book so far gives it five stars, but I honestly think almost any reader would enjoy this fast-moving book, set in the time of Saint Louis, king of France, about a knight who is drawn into two wars of religion and is torn between two women. The emphasis is on action and romance, but a surprising amount of history is slipped in about the Templars, King Louis IX (one of the characters in the book), the Albigensians, Moslems in Egypt, etc. Kudos to Amazon for making this classic available again as a Kindle.

This is must read if you are a die-hard romantic! Enjoy!!!
