Crux Lunata (Accidental Heretics Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 2 ratings

Down medieval alleys, across Andalusian rooftops.

Seeking justice, pursued by assassins.

Tomas, the mercenary, is sent by Pedro d’Aragon to disrupt the defense when Castile and Aragon invade Moorish Andalusia in 1212. There, some say Tomas inherited El Cid’s magical sword and demand he help his own clan. But destiny sends Tomas to meet his nemesis: a djinni.

While the armies gather, an ink-stained monk uncovers a plot by Crux Lunata, a secret order of knights. A confraternity of Occitan and Catalan knights undertake a dangerous journey to warn the king: Crux Lunata plans total destruction of Pedro and his efforts to unify the south.

The men and women of the confraternity risk their lives and their dreams to save Pedro. But will they instead burn on a heretics’ pyre? Or be flayed for spying? How to both fight and hide while Crux Lunata schemes to destroy all they love?

Crux Lunata, Book 3 in the Accidental Heretics series, young warriors from Valeros find treachery and new friendships deep in the spice-and-intrigue world of southern Europe during the Crusader era.

About the Author

More than once, E.A. Stewart slept under her desk at a major software company after staying up until 4 a.m. reading a book that transported its reader to another world. It might have been Baker's Company stories or Francis Lymond at large in the world or magical swordsmen under a crescent moon. When she was writing engineering white papers (no more than two clauses per sentence, with no adverbs or adjectives), she remembered that she knew more things. About history and birds and dreams. About calligraphy and the scents of mountain air and sea air. Now she writes adventure stories for curious readers seeking a portal to another world. Annie Stewart lives and writes in Seattle, Washington.

    This is the third book in the Accidental Heretics serial set in the early thirteenth century. The first two novels focus on a group of characters in the Languedoc (modern day south of France), all descendants of Crusaders in the Outre-mer, who are linked by an unknown legacy which threatens them all. Meanwhile they are caught up in Simon de Montfort’s crusade against the heretics of the region.

    In this book the story takes us south through what is now Spain. A group of Languedoc knights hope to gain protection from Simon de Montfort as they ally themselves with the rulers of Aragon against the Muslim Moors. Tomas, a mercenary of mixed descent, is tasked by Pedro of Aragon to travel to Andalusia and use his family ties to disrupt the plans of a Moorish general.

    The story is completely immersive, so you feel you’re there, among the sights and sounds and smells (especially the smells) of a Medieval battlefield, but yet it feels fresh and contemporary too. The characters are vivid and earthy. There is passion but there is also dry humour.

    These books are uncompromisingly complex with their religious and ethnic and kinship divisions, but they are also great adventure stories, full of battles and ambushes, shifting alliances, betrayal and disguise. Even if I occasionally lost the thread of who was the enemy of whom and who was pretending one thing while actually believing another, I was so swept along by the story I didn’t mind.

    Each book follows on from the one before, with many plot strands unresolved, so they need to be read in the correct order. I’m not sure when the serial is going to end (Book 4 is scheduled for release in 2016) but when it’s complete I think I’m going to go back and read them all again, one after the other. On a first reading they’re great stories but there is so much more in their world to appreciate.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Read but price of next book !!!!!!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 20, 2018
    This is the third book with all the medieval atmosphere and intrigue of the previous books. Sometimes difficult to retain who was who, but the character lists helped a lot. Couldn't put it down at times and I loved how the characters evolved.I felt the end was a cliff hanger leading onto the next book . I didn't mind as I readily went on Amazon to order book 4. How on earth can you justify £12.99p........£8.99p is top end paperback. It was good but I expect you are not selling so well because of the price. The series is good but not that good. An unusual price for any paperback these days.
