The author of Sacrifice continues the saga of a medieval Jewish family with this tale of love and betrayal set against the backdrop of the Third Crusade.
Gloucester 1189
As riots erupt at King Richard’s coronation, Abraham and his father, Moses le Riche narrowly escape the slaughter of London’s Jews. Haunted by what he has seen on his return he rushes home to propose to his sweetheart, Brunetta, unaware of the betrayal already poisoning their future.
Meanwhile, in Gloucester’s Jewish quarter, old resentments deepen. Moses is imprisoned on false charges, Baruch grapples with the shocking truth of his birth, and the le Riche family begins to fracture under secrets, jealousy, and forbidden love.
When Abraham is caught in yet another massacre—this time in York—survival comes at a price. His return home sparks a chain of events that will end in obsession, despair, and a desperate act that threatens to destroy his entire household.
And when Baruch returns from France, carrying the scars of war and a truth that can heal or shatter, the fate of the family hangs in the balance.
From the fires of York to the battlefields of the Crusades, Massacre follows a family fighting for honour, survival, love and forgiveness.
