As the youngest and only female member of the Knights Templar, Bilqis SanGreal grew up knowing she wasn’t normal. Instead of hanging out at the mall or going on dates, she spends her time training as a warrior in her order’s ancient battle against the Unholy.




Billi’s cloistered life is blasted apart when her childhood friend, Kay, returns from Jerusalem, gorgeous and with a dangerous chip on his shoulder. He’s ready to slide back into Billi’s life, but she’s met someone new: amber-eyed Mike, who seems to understand her like no one else and effortlessly stakes a claim on her heart.


But the Templars are called to battle before Billi can enjoy the thrilling new twist to her life. One of the order’s ancient enemies has resurfaced, searching for a treasure that the Templars have guarded for almost a thousand years - King Solomon’s cursed mirror, a source of unimaginable power. To save the lives of millions, Billi will have to put her heart aside and make sacrifices greater than she could have imagined.
MY REVIEW
I actually liked this book. It has some awesome evil characters all the way through. I always knew the bible was full of some evil dudes lol!It's defiantly not one of those books trying to recruit you into christianity or anything, far from it.The book was very fast paced and I loved the main chick in this book,she was badass!There were a few things I didn't like,I didn't like the fact she was kind of whiny about her duties or that she was eaisily fooled by the evil angel dude(not naming names here)I'm not an expert on the Templars but I really like this.For those that know about them you'll have to tell me yourself what you thought.And I love how he writes the book and actually explains why things happen(a lot of authors don't do that)Also he wasn't sexist in writing his main character,at least I didn't think he was.He let her do anything the guys did and let her go even further beyond them! LOL I find it very amusing that he let her do things most female writers wouldn't have let her done if they were writing it. And even though she was a teenage girl she wasn't too boy crazy or obsessed like most female writers like to make their main female character. You didn't have to read on and on about how cute someone is or how in love they are.Not all girls are like that in real life!
