The Hundred Years' War comes to life in this spellbinding tale of love, betrayal and conspiracy ... A quest born on the battlefield will change a young boy's destiny... Rafi Dubois is five years old when his mother is murdered after the Battle of Crecy in 1346. Alone and lost, Rafi is given a token by the dying Englishman who tried to save his mother's life: a half-broken family seal which he urges Rafi to return one day to Winchester. Years later, when Rafi saves a wealthy merchant's wife from a brutal robbery, he is rewarded with the chance to travel to England, taking the seal with him. But when he reaches Winchester, Rafi finds himself in a turbulent world full of long-held allegiances, secrets and treachery. His path is fraught with danger and with powerful enemies working against him, Rafi falls in love with Edith, a market apothecary. But in doing so, Rafi unleashes a deadly chain of events which threatens to overwhelm them both... The Herb Knot is a sweeping and passionate novel set in one of the most tumultuous times in English history, from a powerful new voice. Readers give The Herb Knot five stars!
