The Brotherhood is K.M. Ashman’s longest and most ambitious series, running to more than a dozen entries and spanning the major campaigns of the Crusades from the late 12th century onward. The Templar novels — beginning with Templar Steel (2018) — follow knights and brothers whose military prowess and access to sacred knowledge put them at the intersection of some of the most consequential events of the medieval world: the Battle of Hattin, the fall and recapture of Jerusalem, the Siege of Acre.
Ashman approaches the Crusades from the perspective of men who believed in what they were doing, which gives the series a more nuanced texture than fiction that treats the period purely as barbarism with better armour. The knights of his Brotherhood are flawed and often brutal, but their faith and loyalty feel genuine rather than merely decorative. The series covers some of the same ground as Ken Follett or Conn Iggulden, but with a faster pace and a stronger focus on military action.
The Brotherhood has expanded beyond the historical core to include shorter novellas and companion pieces. Ashman has described the series as the project closest to his interests as both a reader and a researcher.
