The multi award-winning series The Du Lac Chronicles continues: War is coming... The ink has dried on Amandine's death warrant. Her crime? She is a du Lac. All that stands in the way of a grisly death on a pyre is the King of Brittany. However, King Philippe is a fickle friend, and if her death is profitable to him, then she has no doubt that he would light the pyre himself. Alan, the only man Amandine trusts, has a secret and must make an impossible choice, which could have far-reaching consequences - not only for Amandine, but for the whole of Briton.
