During the reign of King Philip IV of the Capetian dynasty, Acre was in the middle of a war between the Sultan, the invader, and the Knights Templar, who were set on protecting the Holy Land.

The day Léa’s family from the workshop decided to leave by boat to escape the threat of war, she was given the task to return the sword entrusted by the leader of the Knights Templar in place of her father, who was taking care of her mother who was about to give birth. Thus, Léa had to go out into the heart of the war.
However, as soon as she arrived with the sword firmly on her back, she witnessed the death of the leader. In the face of danger, she meets Baltha, the beautiful knight she has dreamed of since childhood.

But it wasn’t the time to indulge in such sentiments.
The sword had lost its owner, and the atmosphere at the Knights Templar was somehow strange.

“It is dangerous to go alone. I will take you there.”
“Thank you very much, Sir Baltha. How can I repay this favor…”

What Léa, who had returned to the workshop with Baltha, witnessed was a gruesome mu*der scene.
The only things that remained were the four year-old Rachel, and the shocking news conveyed by her younger sister…

‘We have no choice but to silence every single person who has seen it!
Shouldn’t the mission dedicated to God come first?’

That? Is it because of the sword the leader has entrusted to them?
The Knights Templar… Did they really kill her parents because of that sword?

‘Should I bury the two of them?’

Léa’s blood ran cold.
Because Baltha, who had escorted her back to the workshop, and was collecting her parents’ corpses outside, was also a member of the Templars.

The great truth about the intrigue and the gods surrounding the Templars’ holy relic.

It was the day it all started.

Silver Tree is a serious, dark, historically accurate tale set during the Crusades. I was a bit wary going into it because of the potential to perpetuate harmful religious stereotypes, but it's been handling those themes with nuance and respect. Lea and Baltha (FL and ML) both start out solidly supporting the Christian crusaders, but they both have doubts about the will of God among senseless mu*der and how "the enemy" is more complicated than they first believed. Add in the tense war and intrigue, and you get a very... more>> professional webnovel that reads more like a published novel.

FL and ML are both excellently written characters with complicated motivations and emotions. They both made my heart ache already with what they've been through. Honestly I already love them both and am heavily invested in their happiness. It should be noted that they don't have many scenes together, and I'm not sure if that will change in future chapters given their current situation. Their interactions are short but incredibly meaningful, and then there's a lot of mutual longing. To me it was moving, but some might find it slow or boring.

The excellent translation serves to reinforce the old-timey atmosphere. Typos and awkward sentence structure are nearly nonexistent. The word choice is natural and there are many historical terms, but each are explained in translation notes. This makes it accessible even to non-native English speakers and those not familiar with that era. They update regularly on Saturdays with no long hiatuses thus far. It's easily one of the best webnovel translations I've seen. 10/10 no notes, keep it up.

The only disappointing thing about ST to me is that so few people know about it. Is it because it's serious? It's not a well-known translation group? I wish more people would at least try it out. Even if it isn't your personal cup of tea, I imagine anyone should be able to appreciate the writing skill displayed by the original author and translator. <<less
