England, 1452. Under the reign of King Henry VI the country is on the brink of civil war after the Hundred Years’ War.

Young mystic Lady Isabelle d’Albret Courteault’s family is forced to flee the Duchy of English Gascony for a new and unforeseeable life in England. While they become established in the courts, Lady Isabelle discovers dark secrets about their chaplain and tutor. As their growing relationship places her in harm’s way, can she remain steadfast in her promises to uphold the monarchy and her faith?

Set amidst a period of grave uncertainty, this is the story of a woman learning to stand up for her beliefs in a patriarchal world – a beautifully crafted narrative of faith, love and grace.

#bookbloggers! A little birdie is telling us there #bookbloggers! A little birdie is telling us there’s a treat in store for you today: our sister imprint Farrago is publishing a very special #romcom this October! ✨🦉

ARC blogger copies of ODD BIRD are available now. Can’t wait to get your hands on an early bird copy? Then let us know in the comments if you’d like to receive one! 🤗

Simon is an academic expert on the mating behaviour of birds, but quite hopeless at finding human love. Then he meets Kim, and at last something is more important to him than ornithology. But Kim doesn’t give a single hoot about birds. And at first she doesn’t seem to be very interested in Simon either. Relying on what he has learned from observing the opportunistic pied flycatcher and other species, plus the unorthodox advice of his old friend and wingman Phil, Simon spreads his wings to discover love for himself. But will he make the right choice? 💓
