Heretic: Book 1, Trial of Fire Trilogy
In an era of ideological extremes, Brother Anseau is called to halt the growing Cathar heresy. A pious Cistercian monk, Anseau is called to join the Papal Legate to tour Southern France debating the Cathars. At first, Anseau follows his vows as an obedient monk, ignoring his heart when the legate takes a hard line against the heretics. But after his retinue is attacked, and Anseau is the sole survivor, he searches his heart; he searches for the truth. He discovers an underlying plot by the Pope to launch a crusade that could annihilate southern France.
Divine Vengeance: Book 2, Trial of Fire Trilogy
Divine Vengeance weaves intrigue and drama through the accurate and volatile historical events of the Cathar wars in thirteenth century France. A brutal massacre sponsored by the Pope. Brother Raimon cannot reconcile the dissonance between his faith and the violence. Nor can he rationalize his love for a Guilelma, a Cathar heretic. What starts as offering a helping hand, soon turns into organized aid for fleeing heretics. Now Raimon is captured attempting to sabotage the trebuchet Malvoisine, and he is to be burned at the stake…along with 180 heretics…and the woman he loves.
Sadly the brutality of crusade leader Simon de Montfort is not contrived. The Cathar crusade was the first pogrom aimed at a Christian region. It led to the dark years of the Inquisition and set a concerning tone that influenced Western thought for centuries.
Cup of Redemption: Book 3, Trial of Fire Trilogy
A merciless hundred year crusade has wiped out the entire population of Cathar heretics in southern France in the 13th century. Intolerance has spawned the Inquisition. The last known remaining Cathar perfect (ordained leader), William Bélibaste, is burned for his apostasy.
But there is more to the story of one Anseau de Montferrier, caught in the deception that lured Bélibaste and his entourage to the Inquisition. A secret that the diabolical inquisitor Ferrer has waited sixty years to uncover.
