Navarre

by Anthony Aidan

Navarre is the third in the historical series covering the Hundred Years War. Catherine Eddrington is firmly established as Isabel, Countess of Flanders. The book follows Philip of Navarre as he becomes the pre-eminent commander amongst the French forces. Navarre becomes a critical kingdom for both France and England after the King's untimely death. Princess Blanche is feted by both the King and Prince John. She holds secrets that would condemn her both in the eyes of France and of the Church. She continues her quest to find the holders of Charlemagne's ring and the boy who has Durendal, the mystical sword given by Charlemagne to Lord Roland.
The book races on to its thrilling climax at the Battle of Winchelsea where Louis has risked much to bring King Edward's navy to battle and end England's domination of the seas. Which side shall Isabel choose? Is this the beginning of the end for the House of Flanders? Will Blanche succeed in her mission?
