Stigmata
Set in medieval France, this mesmerising story weaves age-old mysteries with the only crusade against a Christian country.
An unholy crusade. A mystic healer. A daring quest. One desperate man.
France, 1205: Philip of Vercy returns from crusading in the Holy Land to find his wife buried and his only son near death. He is helpless to save him.
Then someone whispers to him a name: Fabricia. She is a witch, they say, marked with the stigmata. And she is credited with miracles.
But there is a problem. Fabricia has sought refuge from the Inquisition in the mist-shrouded mountains of the Languedoc, far to the south.
It’s home to the Cathars, and the pope has ordered a crusade to crush them. The lands where she is hiding are about to erupt into flame and revolt.
If Philip rides into the middle of that, he will risk losing his lands, his titles and even his life. Any other man would cut his losses and go home.
But Philip is not like other men.
