Publisher's Synopsis
The Church - powerful and moneyed.
The Heretics - zealous and poor.
Lyon - a city that might claim to cast the seeds of reformed thinking upon the world.
Guillaume of Anjou, formerly an archer fighting with other Angevins in the Third Crusade, is now the manager of a successful merchant house. In his new position, he unwittingly steps into and out of the shadowed world of trade and secrets in Lyon.
Guillaume carries the weight of a book in his hands - a book that may well light the flame of the greatest philosophical and spiritual change Europe will experience, so that word and sword will cat a swathe through the fabric of life in Lyon. But he has also made an enemy who wants nothing more than revenge.
He will fight for his life.
