The Grace Stoke

Are the enchanted responsible for their actions? 
Can the cursed ever be redeemed?

The Grace Stroke tells the intertwining tales of two young women living centuries apart, on the coast of Lower Normandy. Bound by the tyranny of an ancient enchantress, Logestille and Bradamante struggle to release themselves and those they love from the powers that hold them.

Set in 789AD and 1913, this magic realism novel for young adults combines French mythology, religious tales and true events.
