Amazon Review

Fourteen-year-old Clement, young lady Degena, and company voyage to the vast land of Vinland. The purpose of their journey, to search for the remarkable treasure of the Knights Templar.

At Vinland they have a heartfelt reunion with old friends Adalbert and young Tristan. Clement and Tristan get a vigorous training from the fighting monk Greg. And monk Greg warns them to tread lightly on their expedition.

Clement and Dagena set off on their mission in search of the treasure, and along the way, they encounter natives. They learn some of the languages and build alliances.

Clement has a lot of responsibility and danger is around every corner. However; God has chosen him for an important task, and he must endure to fulfil it.

Fighting the elements, foraging for food, searching for the kidnapped, danger everywhere, not knowing who to trust, fear, torture and even death, are all part of this fascinating story. Add to that, a blossoming sweet romance, as well as wonderful comradery and friendships.

This is the third in a series and very entertaining, the same as the first two. Author Craig Hipkin’s has a way of drawing one into his faith-filled story, and I could see myself tagging along with the characters. The added Christian legends, parts of history, and a glossary of terms at the end are educational and interesting. Well done! Looking forward to more.
