How do you rise up at the dawn of the Inquisition?Pursued across medieval Languedoc by an unknown adversary, three unlikely companions join forces.

Isabella of Valeros is falsely condemned for heresy, but to find her son, she must seek answers among the goodwomen, the so-called heretics beset by this new crusade. Separated, exposed, and hunted, Tomas, Isabella, and Jean-Luc must find their relentless enemy before he destroys them-and their families. Meanwhile, Simon de Montfort's army terrorizes southern Europe, flushing heretics from the hills, shouting over the voices of the troubadours.TREBUCHETS IN THE GARDEN, Book 2 in the Accidental Heretics series, continues the adventure from Book 1, Bone-mend and Salt where Tomas, Isabella, and Jean-Luc are entrapped in the Languedoc crusade, while Simon de Montfort prepares to ignite the next heretics' pyre in the summer of 1210. This revised third edition includes maps and a glossary of Occitan and historical terms.

Author Biography

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.
