The pacing never faltered once. The blend of medieval lore and modern forensic conspiracy kept me turning pages long past midnight. A tremendous series opener.
Characters feel authentic with realistic motives. Macey's historical research is remarkable without bogging down the action. Already purchased the sequel.
Fresh perspective on classic Templar enigmas. The Scottish settings were evocative and tangible. If you love Dan Brown or James Rollins, start here.

The puzzles deepen dramatically in this installment. The cryptic scroll sequences were clever and believable. I devoured the entire book in two sittings.
The stakes rise high from the opening chapter. Superb dialogue and atmospheric European landscapes make every pursuit sequence crackle with energy.
Macey crafts historical secrets with deep credibility. The narrative balances pulse-pounding action scenes with genuinely rewarding intellectual clues.

Book three delivers answers we have anticipated while introducing bold new twists. The character relationships have evolved into something truly gripping.
Sharp prose, lethal stakes, and sharp twists that never felt cheap. Every reveal is earned through rigorous discovery and memorable set pieces.
The plot thickened with every single page. Well written and impeccably thought out. Outstanding work from Macey—I jumped right into the fourth book.

Everything built up through the earlier three novels converges with immense force. The final showdowns and revelations were profoundly satisfying.
A breathtaking end to a magnificent quartet. The psychological depth of the characters balances against non-stop momentum. Highly recommended to all.
Macey ties off every thread with meticulous precision. One of the strongest modern adventure series available on Kindle and paperback alike.
Stop hemming and hawing. You know you want to know more about how a female minister of the Church and Templars are entangled.
This is an exceptional series, entertaining, informative, and spell binding. The detail in describing the Knights Templar, their actions and beliefs, parallels an accurate history. We see the Templars portrayed as something other than the mercenary ruffians described by the Roman Catholic Church. Their subsequent betrayal by the Pope and the King of Spain, leads to a series of adventures and mysteries carried over into present day Scotland. The surprising cast of characters include church ministers and pastors, priests, archaeologists and the usual law enforcement collection. Drama coupled with unique humor and unusual twists of mysteries, I highly recommend this series. D.C. Macey is an exceptional writer, able to capture scenery and describe it in a manner that it paints pictures in the mind. I've never seen it in person, but I could find the Church by his description alone.

When I first saw the book I was a little unsure, thinking it may be just another religious tale, but wow, after one page I was totally engrossed and unable to put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and will certainly look for the next ones in the series.

Good Read
Templar history and myth combine to create an amazing backdrop to a modern mystery thriller. Intrigue, violence and friendship interact in a wonderfully ecumenical church setting. Well worth a read.

The Temple Legacy
Brilliant
Absolutely loved this second instalment. I do enjoy all things Templars and the theory behind the story is credible and keeps you turning the pages. D C. Macey certainly keeps you on the edge of your seat by having many tributaries to the main story which keeps it alive and twists and turns from start to finish. Would love to see this in the big screen. Started the third book if you like the Templars, drama, mysteries and all out action then start by reading the first book.

What a story
Wow what a storyline. The plot thickened with every page. Well written and thought out. Well done Mr Macey can't wait for book three. ☺

Brilliant is the word I can best use to describe this book.
Fast paced continually moving forward with both dramatic physical and visual scenes. The story was gripping and exciting. A must read book .
The only thing I am sorry about is that it is finished. Hopefully there are others to come.

The Temple Scroll

With a touch of history, politics and as usual in this set of books a puzzle to solve.

The Temple Covenant
The 4 books in the Temple Series by D.C. Macey
Spent the weekend reading the Temple series and now will find it hard to wait for the next instalment. The series is full of interest, the templars and hidden artefacts, machinations, plot twists and everything one could ask for in a gripping tale. Highly recommend the writings of D. C. Macey.
