Book
The Green Count
First published 2017
After the violence of Alexandria, Sir William Gold hopes that a pilgrimage to Jerusalem will ease his conscience and give his relationship with Emile a future. Those plans are interrupted when the Roman emperor at Constantinople is taken hostage and the support of Emile’s cousin, the Green Count of Savoy, becomes essential to any rescue.
William is sent to win the count’s commitment, but negotiation proves as dangerous as battle. His service among Italian lords and eastern courts draws him into diplomacy, assassination and competing claims of honour, while his private loyalties threaten to compromise the political alliance he has been ordered to secure.
