Ever dreamed of living in medieval times? Now is your chance! Alienor's adventures will take you back to the end of the Middle Ages.
England still held onto a small piece of France, Calais, despite the efforts of Joan of Arc and King Charles VII . Louis XI, his son, was at war with Charles the Bold, Sovereign Duke of the large and wealthy state of Burgundy, whose father had burnt Joan at the stake to please his English allies.
Chivalry was alive and kicking, jousting was all the rage, and war was the main occupation of the powerful. Knights in shining armor fought bloody battles, burning everything in their paths. Spies and assassins roamed in the shadows while rogue mercenaries terrorized the countryside. The sovereigns of Europe played a life size chess game.
So what if you were a girl thrown in the middle of all this? A pawn on the board? The Duke's Pawn...
This book is the first in the 'For My Suzerain' trilogy.
Warning: fast paced and accurate historical fiction/adventure/mystery/romance. Fasten your seatbelts and jump straight in the heart of the 15th century...
Enjoy!
