The Heir's Redemption

Throughout France, Armand was known for several things - his title as the heir to the Baron of Bayonne, his cunning fighting skills and his loyalty to his father and the king.

And his ability to charm every woman he met. Whatever her station or marital status.

What few knew for was his other title - that of Heir to his father's title of Root of Gascony within the Order of the Rose. That title had fostered his martial ability and bound him to others of the Order, especially Etienne of Normandy and Anna of York. But those two were now mostly settled in their lives while Armand found himself free.

But the raid on Perpignan had angered the Guise who stood nearest the king.

Now, they turned vengeful eyes on Armand.

And used his weakness as their weapon.
