What if the forces that shaped the American Revolution were guided by secrets centuries in the making?
In The Order, a hidden lineage of secret societies moves through the shadows of history, protecting sacred knowledge and pursuing a vision for a new world. After the fall of the Knights Templar, their mission did not disappear. It evolved. First reborn as the Order of Christ, the guardians of ancient rites and forbidden knowledge adapted to survive. Later, their legacy continued within the ranks of the Freemasons.
This sweeping historical novel imagines that the same mission passed through generations and quietly influenced events that would ignite the American Revolution. From the ruins of Jerusalem to the secret gatherings of colonial America, members of the Order safeguard powerful secrets while navigating political turmoil, shifting loyalties, and dangerous enemies.
Blending historical events with bold speculation, Marcus Cloer weaves a story of intrigue, legacy, and hidden purpose. As tensions rise between the colonies and the British crown, the descendants of the Order must decide how their ancient mission will shape the future.
The Order invites readers into a world where secret societies guard powerful truths and the course of history may be guided by unseen hands.
