An excerpt from the book:
Ermengarde shivered, if the city defenses didn’t hold, tonight would find her once more in Toulouse’s hands, facing his anger. She raised her head and, from somewhere deep inside, strength coursed through her. I am Ermengarde, Viscountess of Narbonne, heiress to a proud tradition. My ancestors fought with Charlemagne and were immortalized in heroic chansons. I’ve escaped a hideous husband. I cannot fail my people or myself now. I am Ermengarde, Viscountess of Narbonne.
In a heartbeat, a cry went up from the defenders. “Look! There on the walls!” They roared in support, and Ermengarde sensed they renewed their efforts.
Toulouse’s archers saw her, too. They took aim, probably awaiting the count’s command before releasing their arrows. She stiffened, her pulse racing as she imagined her husband weighing the odds. Was she better off to him dead, or would her death ignite the whole region in war?
