Perfect Fire Trilogy

YA
Perfect Fire Trilogy series.
This sequel to Blue Flame finds Raimon under siege with Occitanian loyalists while Yolanda grieves in Paris. The relationship between the lovers creates a strong narrative thrust, and the dangers they encounter generate more than enough excitement to bear readers along through the complex plot permutations. Thorough scholarship and an immersion into medieval sights, sounds, and points of view characterize the story.

Perfect Fire Trilogy series.
In this medieval tale, weaver's son Raimon loves noble Yolanda. When the mysterious Blue Flame of the Occitan, kindled at the moment of Christ's death, chooses Raimon as its champion, his struggles take on a larger significance. Grant, who knows how to write a love story with subtlety and naturalness, also handles political calculations and spiritual ones with aplomb.
