Il templare (Il romanzo delle crociate, vol. 1)

The blend of real historical events with fantasy elements made me curious about the author's research process and how they chose this particular setting.

The religious themes added a profound layer to the story, but I wondered how much of that was based on historical accuracy versus creative interpretation.

The world-building felt authentic yet imaginative. I'm curious whether this balance was a deliberate choice from the start or evolved during writing.
