The Rebel Princess
By Judith Koll Healey (B.A. '61, B.S. '68)
William Morrow, 2009
There is nothing that Alais, princess of France, wishes more than to settle down with her lover, William of Caen, and to tell his ward Francis that she is his mother. But intrigue is afoot in Paris: two monks have arrived from Rome, on a mission to compel the King of France to help them battle the Cathar sect in the South. The St. John Cup, a relic much prized by the Cathars, is stolen, and soon after that, Francis goes missing. Alais must don a disguise and sneak into unfamiliar territory to save her son, and to try and prevent a holy war.
