Book Description

Series: Galeran de Lesneven Mystery | Publication Date: October 5, 2000

In 1144, a curse descends upon the people of the Broceliande forest: children disappear, others die mysteriously. The man the villagers blame is the lord of the region, rumoured to dabble in black magic. To prevent the fear and anger of his people rising against him, he must act quickly to prove his innocence. He calls upon Chevalier Galeran de Lesnevan, who fought with him in the Crusades and whose life he once saved. Galeran tries to uncover the truth behind these inexplicable and appalling events, but is thwarted by his patron's cohorts and the fierce feud between his sons. An escapist and gripping read, with an intriguing love story of mistaken identity, A Black Romance should establish Galeran as a popular and attractive hero in anticipation of the next three novels in the series.
