Downloading Raised for the Sword

France, 1560. The wars of Religion are tearing the kingdom apart. Being a Huguenot is more often than not a death sentence. Meanwhile, at court, nobles play and scheme. To that court comes Isaure de Montfaucon, sent by her father to become part of Catherine de Médicis’ entourage, and hopefully to find a husband. Another father sends his child to the French court, but all is not as it seems. Enguerrande de Vaubernier has never worn a skirt and has been raised as a boy. As a Huguenot, and as a woman disguised, she could be executed at any time. A fateful duel puts an end to aspirations, and Enguerrande has to flee, but not without the young woman who has unwittingly stolen her heart, even though a future together seems impossible. Isaure and Enguerrande travel through France to Navarre, looking for safety in a country where being different can cost you your life. When the mask falls, will everything change, or will they feel closer than ever? A swashbuckling sapphic adventure through 16th century Europe.
