Redemption, Vol. 1: A Knight's Faith Redeemed

By Elizabeth Ford Sommer

Isabella Taillefer's betrothal to a French count is derailed by the sudden interest of John Plantagenet, King of England. As a woman in 1200 A.D. Angouleme, France, Isabella has no control over her destiny, and she must navigate the political unrest fomented by the men in her orbit with a war-torn France at her heels and daggers at her back. Young Isabella must quickly grow from an innocent child bride to a court-savvy queen. As Isabella prepares for her impending marriage, she discovers family secrets, an illegitimate half-sister, her father's heresies, and the dark cult that has been haunting her ancestral lands for decades. Trust is a luxury she cannot afford--and when Hospitaller Knight Claudius, and Isabella's father, Aymer, reveal secret relics brought back from the Crusades, Isabella's faith is challenged. When it's discovered the king wears the dangerous Seal of Solomon on his hand, Isabella and Claudius must prepare for a future battle of the minds against twisted political powers. Claudius, an expert on occultism, vows to overcome the limits of his monastic isolation and protect Isabella on a journey to England. Along the way, his faith is resurrected and Isabella's strengthens. The Queen must gather her faithful, loyal army before taking her throne. Weaving esoteric stories and legends of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Gnosticism, and Hinduism (based on the beliefs of the real-life Isabella), A Knight's Faith Redeemed is the beginning of Isabella's epic journey.
