Advance Praise
In Curse of the Templar Seal, C. Wayne Dawson has produced another swashbuckling historical novel at the heart of which is the history of the order of the Templars. Set at the beginning of the 16th century, the novel’s central character is Duarte, scion of lineage of men in the Order of Christ, and protector of the Templar seal. Duarte must leave Portugal and sail to India in a quest to locate the seal after his uncle, Sergio informs Duarte that he is the prophesied Heir of the Templar seal. Only once he has retrieved the seal will the Christian Crusade against the Mamluks be renewed. Duarte engages in a classic voyage of discovery, of the world and of himself, maturing from a boy to man as he chases the seal across the Indian Ocean, to Cochin, . Dawson is a historian, and he fills his novel with accurate detail regarding the voyages of Vasco da Gama and Pedro Cabral, and a number of other characters in the novel also really existed, as did the conflicts between the Portuguese and Muslims over control of the Indian Ocean shipping routes. Without revealing too much, suffice it too say that readers seeking a well-researched but lively historical novel will enjoy The Curse of the Templar Seal. --Dr. Gayle Brunelle, Professor of European History.

:: Like a pack of orcas swarming a blue whale, a dozen paraus surrounded the Concepcao unleashing waves of arrows and musket fire:
This book was amazing!
Duarte is the heir of the Templar Seal. It's his job to guard it with his life, for his fallen brothers who's promise to be avenged still illuminates from it and he wants to make a life for himself to have a family until he is called to battle with his brothers. There is a girl he likes and eveything seems to be coming together until one night the Templar Seal which his Uncle wears around his neck as a symbol of honour to his family, faith, order and brothers is stole at knife point.
It is Duarte's job to find the person responsible and make they pay. He needs to restore honour to his family.. Without it he won't win the girl of his dreams... and so his adventure begins.
The knights Templar has always been shrouded in mystery for thousands of years. But C. Wayne Dawson brought characters alive from a time that is not easy to mimick in a story or portray from an OC character.
It was clever and well thought out and I loved every second of it. I read it through twice.
Thank you Netgalley and C. Wayne Dawson (plus all other parties involved to make this happen.) for allowing me to read this beautiful book.
