THE FALCON’S HEART

Joyce DiPastena

Joyce DiPastena
Author Book List

He was banished for a crime he didn't commit. Has he returned for revenge or love?

Just weeks short of winning his knighthood, Jevon was accused of stealing a precious brooch from the baron's wife. Furious, the baron branded him a thief and banished him from Poitou. Jevon takes refuge among a band of disreputable mercenary archers who welcome the extraordinary eyesight that makes him nearly undefeatable with the bow. They dub him "le Falquet"—the Falcon. But the shame of his unjust brand haunts him, as do memories of the woman he loved. The same woman who accused him to the baron.

Constantia has grieved seven years over Jevon's banishment. He had called her his heart's twin. When the king's war with his sons comes to Poitou, she makes a desperate flight through the woods to warn the baron that their castle will be the next to fall. But an archer with a familiar face intercepts her, determined to prevent her from raising the alarm: Jevon, no longer an idealistic squire, but now a vengeful man.

Constantia is stunned to learn that Jevon thinks her to blame for his exile all these years. If he was not the thief she had been made to believe, who was? Love flames swiftly back to life when she and Jevon are reunited, but love may not be enough to overcome Jevon's pain at her betrayal unless she can discover the truth behind the missing brooch.

Poitevin Hearts, Book 1: Men and women living and loving amidst the political intrigues of medieval Poitou, a region of France once ruled by the Kings of England.

The Falcon's Heart is a PG rated historical romance.
