About Twisted Fate

A Story of True Love in Renaissance France . . .

 

Twisted Fate tells the saga of families in France caught up in the Protestant Reformation begun early in the sixteenth century by Martin Luther in Germany and John Calvin in Switzerland. The Reformation caused great conflict between the Catholic Church in France and the Huguenots, who desired religious toleration from the church and from the government.

The reader gets involved in the lives of these families filled with political intrigue, murder, suspense, persecution, survival, and ultimately enduring love.

The past is made vibrant in a story of faith by bringing together historical and fictional people and events from Renaissance France. Finally, Twisted Fate, as the title implies, is filled with twists, turns, and surprises that promise to keep the reader spellbound.
