W&B Publishing takes on Knights in Action, the third in the Jean Termonde Novels by Daniel C. Lorti!

Duke Jean Termonde, French Ambassador to Italy, in a search of information pertinent to French interests, finds a northern Italian city-state preparing territorial expansion among warring cities, a rogue Roman pope with designs on an Italian kingdom, and a French invasion of Southern Italy sponsored by the Avignon anti-pope. Seeking timely information means putting himself in danger and initiating a spy network operating out of the embassy. Friendships with the Mayor of Arles, a French privateer, city-state rulers, and a Vatican cardinal are fraught with adventure and danger. Then a twist of fate moves him into a dangerous situation with the English enemy in the middle of a coup d’état and the Hundred Years’ War.
