The Du Lac Princess: (Book 3 of The Du Lac Chronicles)
By Mary Anne Yarde
War is coming…
The ink has dried on Amandine’s death warrant. Her crime? She is a du Lac.
All that stands in the way of a grisly death on a pyre is the King of Brittany. However, King Philippe is a fickle friend, and if her death is profitable to him, then she has no doubt that he would light the pyre himself.
Alan, the only man Amandine trusts, has a secret and must make an impossible choice, which could have far-reaching consequences — not only for Amandine, but for the whole of Briton.

In The Du Lac Princess, Mary Anne Yarde takes the story in a bolder, more dangerous direction. The focus shifts to Amandine du Lac, whose very identity has condemned her — she faces a death warrant simply for being part of the du Lac family.
Her situation is precarious: only the King of Brittany stands between her and a public execution on a pyre.
Amandine is a strong, resilient heroine, and her struggle feels deeply personal.
Meanwhile, Alan, the man she trusts most, carries a secret that could upend not just their relationship, but the fragile balance of power across Britain.
The political intrigue is thick: Yarde weaves church politics, royal ambition, and family loyalty into a dangerous tapestry, making the stakes both intimate and epic.
There’s also a powerful undercurrent of faith and morality: the book explores the dual nature of the Church in this post-Arthur Britain, adding real depth to the historical fantasy.
The Du Lac Princess is a compelling continuation of Yarde’s saga — it’s perfect for fans of Arthurian-inspired historical fantasy, especially those who love court intrigue, personal sacrifice, and courageous heroines.
