Confessions of a Templar. List of Honor - Haluk Çay

From the author of Maria Romanov After 17 July 1918

Confessions of a Templar: List of Honor is a layered literary novel that moves between confession, chronicle, and myth.

In a mountain city shaped by ancient hostilities, rival traditions of power, faith, and memory survive into the present beneath fragile civic order. At the center of the story stands a young man raised within rigid codes of honor and exclusion, carrying a past deliberately hidden from him. When a legendary list tied to the Templars and the Hashshashin resurfaces, buried loyalties begin to fracture, and the boundaries between justice, obedience, and survival start to collapse.

Drawing on historical memory, Hun myth, and the shadowed legacy of the Templars and the Hashshashin, the novel weaves personal memory with collective fate. Private councils, hidden temples, forbidden rituals, and silent oaths form the architecture of a world where identity is imposed, loyalty is tested, and belief becomes a mechanism of power.

The narrative shifts deliberately in tone: from restrained confession to cold chronicle, from philosophical reflection to mythic proclamation. Law appears not merely as an institution, but as a force that shapes reality itself; faith emerges not as spirituality alone, but as authority organized through language, ritual, and fear.

This is a novel about exile, inheritance, silence, and the burden of honor in societies built upon hierarchy and sacred violence.
