Stigmata

A CRUSADER ON A PERSONAL QUEST

Philip of Vercy returns from fighting the infidel in the Holy Land to find his former life in ruins and his only son near death. He hears of a miracle healer in the south, a young woman marked with Christ's stigmata, and rides out to find her.

A HEALER BRANDED A WITCH

Some say Fabricia Berenger can perform miracles. Others accuse her of sorcery. Fleeing the Inquisition, she seeks refuge in the mist shrouded mountains, amongst a heretic Christian sect - the Cathars - just as the Pope orders a crusade against them.

A WORLD IN FLAME AND REVOLT

As the Languedoc convulses into civil war, Philip and his liegemen must battle their way into hell itself. They are drawn inexorably into a vortex of passion, vengeance and betrayal.

Colin Falconer's EPIC ADVENTURE SERIES of stand-alone tales draws inspiration from many periods of history: Visit the fabled city of Xanadu, the Aztec temples of ancient Mexico, or the mountain strongholds of the legendary Cathars. Glimpse Julius Caesar in the sweat and press of the Roman Forum, ride a war elephant in the army of Alexander the Great, or follow Suleiman the Magnificent into the forbidden palace of his harem.
