title: Crown of the World--Book 1: Knight of the Temple
author:  Nathan Sadasivan 
description: Nathan Sadasivan has a rare, raw talent and Crown of the World is a rip-roaring success. A saga of Christendom told with a breadth of historical knowledge and a depth of empathy and understanding, this novel transports us to a time of turbulence and faith. A work of such accomplishment from a writer of such youth is simply astonishing. I hope and pray that this is the first of many more to follow. --Professor Joseph Pearce, Ave Maria University, author of The Quest for Shakespeare<br /><br />Masterful swordplay, powerfully intense battles, deceit and treachery, and the emergence of the saintly Baldwin IV, young Mr. Sadasvian has weaved a vivid and enthralling tale of a forgotten Catholic kingdom...and has this reader awaiting Book Two of the Trilogy with great anticipation. --Scott Jones, Our Lady of Victory Traditional Catholic Homeschooling
