In a hail of fire and flashing sword, as the burning city of
Acre falls from the hands of the West in 1291, The Last Templar
opens with a young Templar Knight, his mentor, and a handful of
others escaping to the sea carrying a mysterious chest entrusted
to them by the Order’s dying Grand Master. The ship vanishes
without a trace.
In present-day Manhattan, four masked horsemen dressed as
Templar Knights emerge from Central Park and ride up the Fifth
Avenue steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the black-
tie opening of a Treasures of the Vatican exhibit. Storming
through the crowds, the horsemen brutally attack anyone standing
between them and their prize. Attending the gala, archaeologist
Tess Chaykin watches in silent terror as the leader of the
horsemen hones in on one piece in particular, a strange geared
device. He utters a few cryptic Latin words as he takes hold of
it with reverence before leading the horsemen out and
disappearing into the night.
In the aftermath, an FBI investigation is led by
antiterrorist specialist Sean Reilly. Soon, he and Tess are drawn
into the dark, hidden history of the crusading Knights, plunging
them into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless killers as
they race across three continents to recover the lost secret of
the Templars.
