Heretic Dawn: Fortunes of France: Volume 3

The Périgord of sixteenth-century France is a wild region on the edge of the reaches of royal authority-its steep, forested valleys roamed by bands of brigands and gypsies, its communities divided by conflict between Catholics and converts to the new Protestant faith, the Huguenots.
To this beautiful but dangerous country come two veterans of the French king's wars, Jean de Siorac and Jean de Sauveterre, The Brethren-as fiercely loyal to the crown as they are to their Huguenot religion. They make their home in the formidable chateau of Mespech, and the community they found prospers, but they are far from secure-religious civil war looms on the horizon, famine and plague stalk the land, and The Brethren must use all their wits to protect those they love from the chaos that threatens to sweep them away.
"The Brethren" is the first volume in the epic historical drama "Fortunes of France" -a lusty, exhilarating blend of adventure and romance set against the backdrop of a critical period in European history.
This revamped B-format edition is perfectly placed to capitalise on the success of the first edition last autumn. The sequel, "City of Wisdom and Blood," will be published in September, while the third instalment in the series, "Heretic Dawn", will follow in early 2016.00
