Until the end of November, two of my ebooks are available at special Black Friday prices:
Love’s Knife £0.99/$1.33
1093. Beatriz de Farrera is a trobairitz (a female troubadour) at the court of Toulouse. She sings of love but intends to evade marriage and romantic entanglements. Her patron Lady Philippa is heiress to the rich city and county of Toulouse. Philippa’s uncle Raimon plans to marry his niece to the ageing king of Aragon, sweep her out of his way and usurp her rights.
In a world of scheming lords and plotting abbots seeking to control the riches of local salt production and the pilgrim routes, a brutal murder occurs. Love’s Knife is the first book in a series of medieval murder mysteries featuring the trobairitz Beatriz de Farrera.
The Viking Hostage £0.99/$1.33
972. Tallinn. Sigrid, a Norwegian girl, is sold in the slave market and separated from her brothers. As a slave in the French Limousin, she stubbornly clings to her pagan identity. Audebert is imprisoned in a grim dungeon for his brother’s crime. Guy will soon be viscount of Limoges but fears exposure of his near-blindness and challenge to his authority. Adalmode and Aina are great heiresses attempting to resist the unwelcome pressures of the marriage market. Amid Viking raids, fears of The End of Time and turbulent power struggles, The Viking Hostage tells these interweaving stories in late 10th century France and Wales.
