Glory of the Father: Sons of the Order

By Clare SM Keating

Northern Europe, 1256 and the matter of the two Hochmeister of the Teutonic Order has finally been settled. With it, Dietrich von Hohenflacherstein is returning to the Baltic and the developments of the crusades there. He is returning at the rank of Komtur, and older and stiffer man now but finally efforts in the Baltic seem to be paying off. At least, the Livonian Brothers of the Sword and now completely part of the Teutonic Order and no one is talking about the awkward matters of Pskov and Lake Peipus.
As Dietrich takes control of another group and guides them over the Pregel River to expand, convert and perhaps even ease the tensions between the native pagans, native converts and the immigrating Germans, an unexpected opportunity presents itself. For the first time since they were squires, Dietrich and Meinhardt will be in each other's company and at last it feels like they are living their secret wedded bliss. However, events and bad weather lead to troubling times for the ageing pair and summer campaigns prove that even after so many years, the order doesn't forget Dietrich's necessary sin.
Can Dietrich and Meinhardt finally have the peace they crave? Are they both getting worn out from the brutal tactics and steady progression of the order? Are they just too old to care now?
Join Dietrich and Meinhardt in the conclusion or their story and their lives in "Glory of the Father", the final book in the Sons of the Order trilogy.
