Can't get enough of the medieval world? THE VISCOUNTESS takes
you back to the twelfth century and an unforgettable heroine who
wages war to gain control of her life.
In a time of violence and unrest in Southern France, Ermengarde
is a fighter.
Married against her will, she sees her substantial inheritance
usurped by an unscrupulous husband, her lands given over to a man
she can't stand, let alone love.
She rebelled, ran away, and found allies, but this is just the
beginning of the battle for her inheritance. Ermengarde's powerful
husband amasses an army and plots to bring her to her knees.
Ermengarde's allies assemble a force, but they are
outnumbered.
Heady stuff for 1143 and historically accurate.
The novel is based on the life of Ermengarde, Viscountess of
Narbonne (c.1126-1196). Yet Ermengarde is a woman out of time, as
easily imaginable negotiating hostile takeovers in today's
corporate boardrooms as inhabiting her court in twelfth-century
feudal France. Like women of today, she struggles to assert herself
while maintaining her femininity. She copes with animosity from her
allies and unsolicited attentions from one of her knights. When her
city is about to be sacked, she sets aside the advice of others to
act on her own. Grab a copy today.
THE VISCOUNTESS is book two of THE NARBONNE INHERITANCE. Yet it
stands alone and can be read without reading book one, THE
VISCOUNT'S DAUGHTER.
