THE FALCON’S PREY, set in France during 1415–1416 – a time and place of chivalry at its height – reveals a real world hidden beneath fairy tales of valiant knights and fair maidens.
Sixteen-year-old Amélie lives in the castle of her uncle, the chevalier Sieur Denis des Étoiles, where she is betrothed by her aunt to a rich old man she’s never met.
Amélie tries to hide her fear of her impending marriage until Hue, her cousin and esquire to her uncle, reveals to her that her betrothed committed a capital crime on the battlefield at Agincourt.
Amélie faces a dilemma. If she marries a man she fears, she’ll enjoy the life of a lady. If she flees, her status will become uncertain – or worse!
