Can true love survive in a war-torn world? Set in Gascony during the Hundred Years' War, Marcus, an English orphan, is separated from his army and finds himself embroiled in a superstitious town that is under the close watch of the Inquisition. He meets Claire, a woman who is forced into marriage with a violent knight, Robert, to keep the good family name. When it is discovered that Marcus and Claire sneak away to be with each other, the eye of the knights and the Inquisition falls upon them, and they find themselves caught up in mortal danger, as well as entwined with a cult of witches and mystics, who help them to fight against the Inquisition and their enemies.

An emotional book that grips from beginning to end, this book is a combination of medieval romance, history and fairy tale.

'An emotional rollercoaster ride that will stay with you long after you have read the last pages. This is a book in the grand tradition of romance, historical fiction and fantasy.' - A. Marcus
