Three Bloody Pieces (Caitlyn #1)

Queen, beggar... cat? Caitlyn is all three.

Lady Caitlyn has lost everything – her husband, her throne, her home.

With her husband lying brutally slaughtered at her feet and with his enemies at her door, she flees for her life. Desperate and terrified, and plagued by visions of an evil woman performing dark rituals, Caitlyn seeks sanctuary with an English lord. But when the one man who she feels she can trust betrays her, she escapes - and runs straight into the clutches of the woman from her visions.

Herleva is a woman filled with ambition and greed; a woman who intends to be more than a commoner, and who gets what she wants by whatever means possible even if she has to practice the dark arts to achieve her goals.

A woman who is a witch.

Using magic and evil to cast the most hideous of spells, Herleva forces Caitlyn to assume the guise of a cat, a familiar. Having no choice but to do the witch’s bidding, Caitlyn’s life changed forever by the hideous enchantment.

Only death can free her. The question is, whose?

Set in the tenth century, Herleva uses Caitlyn and black magic to produce a king to change the lives of every man, woman, and child in England for a thousand years.
