Author Description

You will never survive in Gascony... Set in France during the Inquisition and the Hundred Years' War, Marcus and Claire find that the love they bear each other has drawn enemies on all sides, from knights and witch hunters to the Inquisition. Branded as outlaws, the forest where they dwell with the witches and mystics gets burned out by knights and witch hunters, and Marcus and Claire become separated. Marcus is captured and taken to England as a French spy, while Claire and her family are taken to Rome for questioning and torture as they have been branded witches. Marcus strives against the odds to overcome the evil that besets them and reunite with his beloved Claire. An emotional book that tugs at the heartstrings, this book is a combination of medieval romance, adventure, history and fairy tale. 'The action and adventure of this book does not let up. This beautifully written book takes the reader from the castles and villages of Gascony to the green countryside of England and the grandeur of Rome. The characters come to life in this heart-wrenching read.' - A. Marcus
