New book release!
It’s out!
The first book in the new Peregrinus Series.
This is a novel about relics.
Relics can move mountains, so history tells us. They cure the sick, promise success, enable whole kingdoms to win wars.
Many relics might only be dogs’ bones, or the hair of a shaggy horse, maybe the shrunken hand of a punished Byzantine thief, or perhaps the heart of a slaughtered ox.
Who would know?
But a piece of byssus, arguably the most enigmatic cloth in the world, cannot lie, and its very existence underlines the life of Christ and the meaning behind the Holy Church.
The cloth’s power can only be wondered at.
It is the kind of relic which inspires heroic deeds. The kind of relic that inspires murder.
In telling this story, it also becomes a novel about faith.
Faith in power. In money which can beget power. Faith in one’s own self and one’s strengths. Faith in one’s friends and even in God. Or maybe it is even a story about lack of faith…
From Constantinople to Caen, from Venice to Viviers, from Rome to Rouen, relics are traded like pepper and frankincense, silk and silver, lapis and alum. Sold to the highest bidder.
Who then shall pay the highest price of all for a fragment of aged cloth?
For the highest price must surely … and inevitably … be death.
‘A moving and exciting tale…’ Sharon Bennett Connolly – Heroines of the Medieval World
If you enjoyed The Kingmaker Series or The Knights Templar Series, you will enjoy this story.
To celebrate the release, the previous three books in The Triptych Chronicle, are all on a massive price reduction until the middle of this month.
And just as exciting as all the above, I’m in talks to find a suitable voice to begin reading Tobias as an audiobook, the rest to follow!
I’m nervous and excited about EVERYTHING!!!!!!!
So READ, my friends and enjoy. And review as quickly as you can.
Cheers!
Congrats, Prue! Been looking forward to this 🙂
Thank you, Nicky. I’m guessing it’s entirely inappropriate to say that this feels like the longest pregnancy yet. For reasons I might go into one day. Just not yet. Every book is like a pregnancy but normally for me, it’s 12 months from Chapter One to release. This one, for the above cryptic reasons, has been nearly 18 very impatient months. I have had to sit on my hands more than once! 😉
Looking forward to reading it, xxx just purchased it 🙂
Thank you for purchasing. Hope you enjoy it, Libby. It’s been a looooooong time coming!
