Based on a true story, Princess Parasia is torn from her family and trafficked to Germany as a child bride. Tragically widowed, her beauty catches the eye of the most powerful ruler in Christendom, the German Emperor Henry IV. She becomes his wife, a terrible man who answers to no one, or so he believes. Still a teenager her life is a nightmare, but she is not alone. Her step-son Crown Prince Conrad is consumed by revenge as the blaze-haired girl he adores suffers at his father's hands. Pope Urban II offers Parasia a way out, but at a shocking price. Her decision detonates a scandal that rocks medieval Europe.

Set against the turbulent political landscape of 11th-century Europe, SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET weaves Parasia's fate with kings and popes. History calls her shameless. History is wrong. Part survivor testimony, part political thriller, part spiritual reckoning, SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET resurrects a thousand-year-old scandal. It is a story of love, friendship and the courage of a woman erased from history, restored at last. It is a novel about what it costs a woman to tell the truth.

You will love Conrad, Tilo, Imilla, Don Carmine and those who help Parasia risking life itself. You will despise Zallm, Guelph, the Emperor and the men who wish her harm. And you will recognise Parasia's story from the courts of medieval Europe to the headlines of today.

Searing, intimate, and deeply human, SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET puts you there, with her. Perfect for listeners who appreciate exciting well researched women's stories and medieval epics. Please see my author website for loads more.
