Bone-Mend and Salt: Lost in the Languedoc Crusade (Accidental Heretics) (Volume 1)

Fight or beg for mercy when enemies turn an unjust war against you?
Bone-mend and Salt,Book 1 in the Accidental Heretics series, launches an adventure of conspiracy and revenge amidst the crusade against the Cathar heresy in southern Europe in 1210.
 
A Moorish mercenary--mutilated and left to die, harangued by his father's ghost--seeks revenge, since justice seems unlikely. Banned as a Cain, a French knight seeks respite--with a sword to battle his betrayers. A Catalan widow holds her own fate--until a gold-sniffing priest accuses her of heresy. A hidden enemy traps them in a "crusade" run amok: Simon de Montfort is spreading terror to flush heretics from their lairs, shouting over the voices of the troubadours. Pedro of Aragon cannot persuade Simon to temper justice with mercy.

Bone-mend and Saltlaunches the long journey these three undertake to find their enemy, while a holocaust is being kindled in the cities and villages of the Languedoc.
The second edition includes maps and a glossary of Occitan and historic terms.
