The Sister of the Flame - Jeffrey Rittenhouse

A Dark Medieval Thriller of Faith, Vengeance, and Secret Love

They burned her sister as a heretic.

They called it justice.

They were wrong.

After the execution of Joan of Arc, France believes the Maid's fire has been extinguished. But in the shadows of a broken nation, her sister Catherine d'Arc survives and remembers.

While the Church rewrites history and absolves itself of guilt, Catherine becomes something far more dangerous than a martyr. Armed with a single assassin's knife and an unbreakable code, she hunts the corrupt priests, false confessors, and powerful men who hid ambition behind holy words and sent the innocent to burn.

Her killings are quiet. Precise. Unforgiving.

When an inquisitor arrives to crush the growing legend of The Sister of the Flame, the hunt becomes personal. Catherine's identity is exposed. Innocents are punished in her name. And buried truths about Joan's trial and the bishop who orchestrated it threaten to shatter the Church's authority forever.

Now Catherine must choose: remain a blade in the dark...

Or step into the fire and force the truth into the light.

Dark, atmospheric, and relentlessly gripping, The Sister of the Flame is a medieval thriller of vengeance, faith betrayed, and a forbidden love born in blood and shadow-perfect for readers who crave historical intrigue, morally complex heroines, and stories that burn long after the final page.

They burned her sister as a heretic.

They called it justice.

They were wrong.
