In the rugged waters of 14th-century Brittany, where politics and piracy intertwine, Joanna of Flanders emerges as a formidable and daring leader. "Flame and Fury: The Saga of Joanna of Flanders" takes you on an exhilarating journey through the life of a woman who defied convention and carved her name into the annals of history.
Born into a turbulent era, Joanna rises from the shadows of her noble heritage to become a key player in the War of Breton Succession. With a keen mind and unyielding spirit, she commands ships and leads daring raids against French-held territories, challenging both the sea and her enemies with relentless resolve. Her mastery of naval warfare and her audacious tactics earn her a reputation as a fierce warrior and, controversially, a pirate.
As the war rages on, Joanna's life is marked by personal triumphs and crushing losses. The death of her husband, the capture and imprisonment by rival forces, and the eventual strain on her mental health weave a complex tapestry of resilience and sorrow. Yet, even as she retreats from the public eye and lives under English protection, Joanna's legacy as a pioneering woman of the sea endures.
"Flame and Fury" blends meticulous historical research with gripping narrative to reveal the true story behind the legend. Follow Joanna's rise and fall, and uncover the real-life events that shaped her extraordinary life. The book also features a comprehensive timeline of Joanna's life at the back, providing readers with historical context and clarifying the myths that have grown around her remarkable story.
Immerse yourself in the thrilling saga of Joanna of Flanders, a woman whose courage and defiance continue to inspire awe and admiration.
