HTML: "If you like Bernard Conwell's Grail Quest series, you'll love The French Executioner and The Curse of Anne Boleyn. To my mind Cornwell is good, but Humphreys is better." â??Sally Zigmund, Historical Novels Review (UK) From the masterful C.C. Humphreys comes the captivating sequel to The French Executioner Nearly twenty years have passed since Anne Boleyn died at the hands of her slayer and savior, Jean Rombaud. All he wants is to forget his sword-wielding days and live happily with his family. Yet her distinctive six-fingered hand, stolen at her deathâ??and all the dark power it representsâ??still compels evil men to seek it out. When Jean's son, Gianni, joins the Inquisition in Rome and betrays all his father worked for, Jean discovers that time alone cannot take himâ??or his sonâ??far from his past. But he never expected his whole family, especially his beloved daughter Anne, to become caught up once more in the tragic queen's terrible legacy. From the savagery of way in Italy to the streets of London and Paris and the wilds of North America, The Curse of Anne Boleyn sweeps readers into a thrilling story that puts love, loyalty, and family to the ultimate test. "With The French Executioner, Humphreys established himself as a quality purveyor of historical detail and vigorous action...This unusual story line is dispatched with consummate skill." â??Good Books G Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Iâm not saying that this novel canât stand on its own. It can. But personally, I think youâll be missing an important view and dynamic of the story as a whole. But thatâs just me.
This story is set twenty years later and tells the story of the next generation of Rombaud, Jeanâs son, Gianni and his daughter Anne, who are both caught in Anne Boleynâs terrible legacy.
Once more Mr. Humphreys manages to draw me in with a fast paced, well written and researched story that had taken me on an exhilarating journey from Siena to Canada.
Reading one of Mr. Humphreys novels is like having history lessons, but youâre not bored because he weaves the tale so well that youâre all caught up in the telling of it.
His action scenes are unbelievably well done and highly suspenseful and entertaining that they feel like Iâm watching a movie.
With a solid plot filled with suspense, intriguing characters and appropriate to the times dialogue, I was taken on an adventure of a lifetime. Hope youâll give it a try.
