Description
Cursed since childhood. Bound by a strange iron bracelet. Dreaming of knighthood he could never have.
When Aedan discovers an ancient Templar sword hidden beneath the Temple of Solomon, destiny awakens in flame. The blade was forged to bear four elemental runes—Fire, Wind, Lightning, and Light—and the first now burns in his hands.
But with power comes peril. The Templars call him chosen by God—or damned by sorcery. Kings, priests, and enemies conspire to claim the weapon, even as the Lord of Shadows rises to plunge the Holy Land into darkness.
From the siege of Ascalon to secret missions across Syria, Rune of Fire launches an epic saga of faith, betrayal, and forbidden magic—perfect for fans of The Witcher, Assassin’s Creed, and Game of Thrones.
The Templars fight for God. Aedan fights for the truth. And the runes will decide the fate of the world.
