Fiction
A transporting debut novel set in thirteenth century
France-a time when chivalry reigned and treachery ruled.
In the last years of her eventful life, queen-duchess
Aliénor of Aquitaine launches a deadly dynastic chess game
to safeguard the crowns of Normandy and England for John
Plantagenet, her last surviving son. To that end, Aliénor
coerces into matrimony two pawns-Juliana de Charnais, a
plain and pious novice determined to regain her
inheritance, and Guérin de lasalle, a cynical, war-worn
mercenary equally resolved to renounce his. The womanizing
Lasalle and the proud Juliana are perfectly matched for
battle not love-until spies and assassins conspire to
reverse their romantic fortunes. Populated by spirited
and intelligent women and executed in flawless period
detail, The Sixth Surrender is a compelling love story
that heralds the arrival of a major new talent in
historical fiction.
