Isabella, the steward of Valeros in the eastern Pyrenees, has twice been falsely condemned as a heretic. In late summer 1211, Isabella and Tomas set out to join Pedro d’Aragon’s long-planned invasion of Andalusia. However, the Crux Lunata still pursues them, and Isabella flees for her life, seeking safety among the heretics hiding in caves in the hills.

The Mad Woman of La Catalane, a novella, supplements the story told in Crux Lunata, Book 3 of the Accidental Heretics adventure series, a saga of people caught in the invasion of southern France known as the Albigensian Crusade.

Available as a standalone ebook, and included in the print edition of The Blue Door.
