About this listen

There is a secret code of the Knights Templar on the Camino de Santiago....

Chasing her only hope of freedom, Princess Isabella of France is sent on a quest to find the Knight Templars' secret treasure. However, when she unlocks one of the seven hidden doors binding the treasure, Isabella unleashes an ancient terror - now she must decide to either follow orders or save the world from the one who sent her.

Isabella's quest leads her to love, friendship, and self-discovery, but if she's not careful, it could also lead to the destruction of the world. Will the wisdom Isabella learns on the Camino de Santiago be enough to save them all, or is it already too late?

If you like the adventure of Tolkien, the cipher-breaking mystery of Dan Brown, and the life-altering lessons of Paulo Coelho, then this action-packed spiritual adventure will leave you telling yourself, "Just one more minute."

All of the secret codes in the novel are based on the symbols, ruins, and other things the author saw on his own Caminos. If you walk the Camino de Santiago yourself and know where to look, you can still see all of these fascinating markings today.

  • Eric Hoffer Award winner 2021 in the Spiritual Fiction category.
  • Amazon number one best seller in several categories including Historical Medieval Fiction.

"Filled with excitement, intrigue, surprise, and mystery, the story is wonderfully woven and captivating. Pilgrim quests, secret codes, spiritual lessons, and forbidden love enliven the journey down the Camino De Santiago." (The USA Review of Books)

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"This book is filled with fascinating historical facts and geographical tidbits. It offers a thrilling perspective to the hidden mysteries and romanticism of the Knights Templar from the vantage point of a young French princess who defies tradition and embarks on a quest to save the world from destruction at her father's directive. Filled with excitement, intrigue, surprise, and mystery, the story is wonderfully woven and captivating. Pilgrim quests, secret codes, and forbidden love enliven the journey down the Camino De Santiago." (The USA Review of Books)

"What this novel captures most brilliantly, the reason I personally could not put it down, is the essence of what the Camino de Santiago is.... It is the epitome of a journey, full of trials and growth. It is a strange calling to put one's body through the challenges and to emerge on the other side changed forever.... And The Way: Through a Field of Stars emulates that spirit perfectly. If you want an adventure, to travel and explore in a time where COVID-19 is putting a stop to just that, then read this book. Fall in love with the characters as you see them morph and grow as all do who walk the Camino." (Culture Honey Magazine)

Interesting story

This is a well written and interesting fictional story from the 14th Century. It gives the reader a good feel of what walking the Camino would have been like around those days. The story takes you through the life of 6 different pilgrims and I could almost picture how they would look like if the story was brought up to the big screen. I truly enjoyed this book.

I thought the story require an older narrator either male of female, but the story is good so I listened attentively through the end.

The Way: Through A Field of Stars

A fabulous action packed novel, full of excitement, romance and history! A very well written story, very gripping and enjoyable. I can't help but find the narrator a little annoying, but that doesn't detract from how good the story is.

Couldn't Stop Listening

I listen to many, many audio books, especially during this last year with the pandemic, and this is one of those novels that is impossible to stop listening to! It is read by the very talented Lessa Lamb who brought what is already an exciting story to life. Historical fiction, laced with facts, Templar Knights, a love story or two, life teachings, battles, chases, mysteries, treasure... even a song... This book has it all! I look forward to more books please Mr Lucky Skillen!
