Templar Freemason: The Circle Completes
Embark on a thrilling journey across centuries in Ron Townsen's gripping historical fiction novel, "Templar Freemason: The Circle Completes". This meticulously researched and vividly imagined tale weaves together the legendary histories of the Knights Templar, Freemasons, and the holy bloodline of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. Townsen brings these ancient mysteries to life through richly developed characters, high-stakes intrigue, and a story that spans generations.
The novel opens in 18th century colonial America, as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, both high-ranking Freemasons, hatch a secret plan to protect an ancient treasure that dates back to biblical times. This priceless cache, once guarded by the Knights Templar, is now under the watchful eye of the Freemasons. With the American Revolution looming, Washington and Franklin must act fast to secure the treasure from falling into the wrong hands.
The story then flashes back to the early years of the Knights Templar in 12th century Jerusalem. Here we meet the brave and noble knights who uncover long-buried secrets beneath the Temple Mount—secrets that will change the course of history. Among these earth-shattering revelations are proof that Mary Magdalene was the wife of Jesus Christ, and that their union produced a child, perpetuating a sacred bloodline.
Returning to the 18th century, we follow the dangerous exploits of sea captain Patrick Fletcher, tasked by the Freemasons with transporting the Templar treasure to its new hiding place in the American colonies. Fletcher's mission is fraught with peril as he must outrun not only the British Navy, but also ruthless agents of the Catholic Church determined to seize the treasure.
Meanwhile in France, members of the Freemason brotherhood risk their lives to protect descendants of the holy bloodline from Opus Dei, a fanatical sect within the Church that seeks to eradicate all evidence of Jesus and Mary's union. Among those under Freemason protection is the beautiful noblewoman Christina and her family. When France becomes too dangerous, they make a daring escape to the island of Bermuda.
The action accelerates as Captain Fletcher races to retrieve the remaining Templar relics from Bermuda and spirit them away to the New World. His mission is nearly undone when Opus Dei spies close in on Christina and her family. Fletcher's only chance to save the treasure—and the lives of those sworn to protect it—is to attempt an audacious sea crossing.
Interwoven through this propulsive narrative are the stories of other valiant Freemason guardians of the bloodline across the centuries. We meet Leonardo da Vinci, a Freemason Grand Master, cleverly encoding the secrets of Mary Magdalene in his artwork. Then there's intrepid archaeologist and Freemason Raphael, who in the early 1800s discovers vital clues to the bloodline's fate in Rosslyn Chapel, Scotland.
In the novel's pulse-pounding climax, the stage shifts to present day Paris. Inside the Louvre Museum, an earth-shattering truth lies buried—a truth that powerful forces will kill to keep hidden. Only through the bravery and ingenuity of Freemason operatives, and the pluck of the bloodline's youngest scion Sophie, can the truth at last be revealed and an ancient promise fulfilled.

But beyond being a gripping page-turner, "Templar Freemason" explores profound themes that resonate across the ages—themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the tireless search for truth against all odds. It celebrates those rare and courageous individuals throughout history who have dedicated their lives to defending knowledge and preserving sacred truths.
