Book Launch: The Arrows of Mercy
About the Event
Join author Jill MacLean for the launch of her new adult novel, The Arrows of Mercy.
The year is 1348. Haunted by the blood on his hands, an archer named Edmund returns home from the French wars to a life of serfdom. His brutal elder brother doesn’t want a hero on his doorstep. The woman he loves yearns for a wider world, the ambitious wise-woman challenges him in ways he deplores, and an abused servant-girl is a thorn to his flesh. The priest denounces his mercy killings. Yet, as the days pass, Edmund is impelled to fight for the impossible: love and redemption. Then plague arrives in the village and everything changes.
Bookmark will have copies of The Arrows of Mercy available for sale at the launch.
