Traitors

'Traitors' follows the story of Marcus and Claire and how their love and loyalties are tested by the forces of the inquisition during the Hundred Years' War, as well as enemies seeking to rend their love apart.

Marcus, an English bowman and atheist. Claire is the daughter of a former priest. They are branded heretics after opposing the inquisition, and are in hiding in a forest in Gascony with a group of mystics, led by the witches Gyverny and Amelie. When Inquisitor Roderick seeks revenge for his maimed hand and the death of his comrade, Dominic, he acquires the aid of the knight Bodin and witch hunters to raid the forest the mystics dwell in. Orders are given to capture Claire's sister, Eve, the strange girl who performs miracles, and decide whether or not she is a prophet of God or controlled by demons.

Marcus, overhearing word of the attack, attempts to rouse the mystics and leave quickly, but their village is raided and Eve is captured. During the slaughter, Marcus escapes with Gyverny, though he is separated from Claire, who is taken by the inquisition. As Marcus attempts to gather supplies to rescue his beloved, he and Gyverny are captured by the English and taken to England. While resisting Gyverny's advances, Marcus has to battle his internal conflict of whether to resume his life in England, or to become a traitor to his country and attempt to find Claire. He also has to contend with Jonathon, his old adversary, who has ingratiated himself with his countrymen and who seeks to brand Marcus a French spy.
