The road to Jerusalem / Jan Guillou ; translated from the Swedish by Steven T. Murray.
In 1150, Arn Magnusson is born to an aristocratic Swedish family and spends his childhood at the Cistercian monastery of Varnhem where he is taught the best of spiritual and worldly learning, as well as being trained to become a master archer and swordsman by the giant Brother Guilbert, a former knight. At seventeen, equipped to become a monk and warrior, Arn returns home, a young man and yet an innocent in the ways of the world. Two sisters cross his path: he is seduced by one and falls deeply in love with the other, Cecilia. In loving two sisters he has committed a crime punishable by both civil and clerical authorities, and he is sentenced to serve twenty years as a Knight Templar in the Holy Land.
