The Iron King - Philip the Fair - is as cold and silent as handsome and unblinking as a
statue. He governs his realm with an iron hand but he cannot rule his own family: his sons are
weak and their wives adulterous while his red-blooded daughter Isabella is unhappily married
to an English king who prefers the company of men. A web of scandal murder and intrigue is
weaving itself around the Iron King but his downfall will come from an unexpected quarter.
Bent on the persecution of the rich and powerful Knights Templar Philip sentences Grand Master
Jacques Molay to be burned at the stake thus drawing down upon himself a curse that will
destroy his entire dynasty.
