I picked this one up at the library and, sitting in the car, read the prologue...I was entranced. Lawhead's mythic history draws you in. Not only did his detailed landscape and time-period come to life in my mind, but the characters, in their reserved manner, became breathing people that you care and cheer for.
But this story isn't heavy on the cheers; it describes many heartaches and inhumanities. It peels back the horror of what the Crusaders did in the name of Christ and clearly shows the misdeeds of the Church. Yet, through the likeable monks of the Cele De, the main character comes to see another side of spirituality, eventually warming to the monks and their beliefs.
The story, primarily, follows young Murdo as he follows after his father and brothers toward the Holy Land. He needs their help to take back the land that's been stolen from them. Along the way, he witnesses the Crusaders' violent ways, he experiences mystical visions, and he finds himself brushing shoulders with the Holy Lance, the spear used to pierce Jesus's side at the scene of the Crucifixion. Now, the spear is a holy relic sought by many.
The transformations of Murdo from nonbeliever to believer, from boy to man, are credible. You'll find yourself holding your breath as he searches for the Holy Lance and attempts to escape those who wish to steal it for their own devices.
This story deals with large issues--the corruption of the church, the brutality of man, the secrecy of centuries-old societies in the British Isles--and it still manages to touch on smaller, more personal issues such as love, loyalty, and family.
Some may find the details overwhelming or laborious; I found myself closing the final page wishing for more.
