1196AD Lyon Relics can move mountains, so history relays. They cure the sick, promise success, enable whole kingdoms to win wars. A fragment of byssus lies in a small chest and its very existence underlines the life of Christ and the meaning behind the Holy Church. Its power can only be wondered at. It is the kind of relic which inspires heroic deeds and . . . murder. An elderly nun and a returned crusader are all that stands between the world's most sanctified relic and a Templar knight who craves it for his own purpose. From Constantinople to Caen, from Venice to Viviers, from Rome to Rouen,…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
1196AD Lyon Relics can move mountains, so history relays. They cure the sick, promise success, enable whole kingdoms to win wars. A fragment of byssus lies in a small chest and its very existence underlines the life of Christ and the meaning behind the Holy Church. Its power can only be wondered at. It is the kind of relic which inspires heroic deeds and . . . murder. An elderly nun and a returned crusader are all that stands between the world's most sanctified relic and a Templar knight who craves it for his own purpose. 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 should pay the highest price of all for a fragment of aged cloth? Is the highest price surely . . . and inevitably . . . death? If you enjoyed The Kingmaker Series or The Knights' Templar Mysteries, Reliquary will enthral you. Reliquary is Book One of The Peregrinus Series.
Autorenporträt
I was born in Australia and studied history and politics at the University of Tasmania. I've worked as a hotel cleaner, a cosmetician in a major department store, a bookseller but most properly as a journalist/researcher for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation where I met my husband, also a journalist. We now farm in Tasmania, growing the superfine wool for which Australia is famous. I spent almost ten years as a coordinator for the cancer therapy program Look Good Feel Better and time as a walker for Riding for the Disabled and for the local Dogs' Home. I have two adult children, two dogs, too much garden and maybe too little time to write. I write both historical fiction for which Gisborne: Book of Pawns received an Honourable Mention in the 2012 Golden Claddagh Writing Contest, and historical fantasy for which A Thousand Glass Flowers received a silver medallion in the 2012 Readers' Favorite Book Awards. I'm what the pundits call a 'niche' writer which means that both the fantasies and the historical fiction don't conform to pre-conceived concepts of their genres. What better way to entice readers than to offer you a chance to read novels that are unique!
