Templar

Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with questions about loyalty, the corruption of power, or the feeling of being an outsider in a system they once trusted. This sprawling graphic novel follows Martin, a Knight Templar who survives a mass arrest and must navigate a world where his order has been declared heretical. It is a story about the messy reality of survival and the bonds formed between those forced to live on the fringes of society. Parents will appreciate the way it explores moral ambiguity and historical complexity through a cinematic lens. While it contains the swashbuckling action of a heist film, it is grounded in the deep emotional resilience required to rebuild a life after a total betrayal. It is best suited for older teens who can handle mature themes of political intrigue and medieval violence.
