At the turn of the thirteenth century, a tolerant, wealthy, and
cultured society blossomed in what is now southwestern France.
Occitania was the domain of the Counts of Toulouse. Its people
valued poetry, music, and literature over warfare. Their language
Occitan, was the lingua franca of the courts of Europe. Their
troubadours traveled widely and were popular sources of news and
entertainment. Tragically, their success struck fear in the minds
of the pope and kings, so a brutal crusade was launched to destroy
a people that sought only peace. Seven hundred years later, as the
battles raged on the Normandy beaches, a sleepy little town in the
Limousin woke up to what they expected to be like any other. But
this day they were to have unwelcome visitors, the Waffen SS. The
Chrysalis of Oc is a sweeping historical tale that links thirteenth
and twentieth century France and the bloody crusades that changed
the course of the world forever.
