Stigmata: A historical adventure thriller of medieval France (Epic Adventure)

France, 1205: Philip of Vercy returns from the crusades to find his estate destroyed and his son dying. He learns of a young healer named Fabricia, marked with the sacred wounds of Christ, who may be able to save his child. Fabricia is a fugitive hunted by the Inquisition, hiding in the mountains of the Languedoc among the Cathars—heretics the Pope has vowed to destroy. As the south erupts in rebellion and the Pope's crusade advances toward her, Philip must navigate treachery, defy the Church, and survive warfare to reach her. He risks everything: his lands, titles, and life. Set during the medieval conflicts of France, this novel combines elements of thriller, history, and adventure, exploring themes of love, faith, and vengeance.
