Divine Vengeance

By D.W. Koons

Book Overview

The distance from honor to vengeance is just one heartbeat. Johan seeks glory. Raimon seeks faith. Both find love in Guilma's arms, but only death and depravity in Simon de Montfort's wake. When they join forces, it is for a common goal: to exact retribution for Montfort's brutality. Set in southern France in the early 1200s, Divine Vengeance follows the Holy Crusade against the Cathars, a sect whose beliefs did not align with Rome, as viewed through the eyes of a soldier and a monk. But this rich history is only the backdrop for a story of two men who unknowingly love the same woman and yet become comrades against a common enemy: Simon de Montfort, the Church's sadistic crusader.
