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 AliΓ©nor 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, AliΓ©nor coerces into matrimony two pawns-Juliana de Charnais, a plain and pious novice determined to regain her inheritance, and GuΓ©rin 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.
