All the Winding World - Kate Innes
England 1294 - The country is under siege, threatened by treachery and invasion. In the contested territory of Aquitaine, the incompetence of the English command has led to the capture and death of many of King Edward’s most trusted knights. Amongst the angry hostages, there is one who will choose to betray his country.
Meanwhile in the Welsh Marches, resentment against crippling taxes and conscription boils over into rebellion. Lady Illesa Burnel, determined to protect her family and home, must find an ingenious way to free her imprisoned husband before Fortune’s Wheel tips them all into death and ruin.
In a peculiar company of pilgrims, armed only with the voice of a siren, the cunning of an actor, a rogue Templar, and a weasel, Illesa embarks on a reckless foray into the heart of the enemy’s castle.
This gripping sequel to The Errant Hours interweaves old and new characters in a moving story about the savagery of war, the insistence of love and the power of illusion.
