Devil Helier L'Eree Trilogy Books

Returning to his home on Guernsey--from which he had been sent away as a child after his mother was burned as a witch--Helier L'Eree abducts Marguerite, daughter of the man responsible for his mother's death, and seeks refuge with Cardinal Richelieu in France.

The second part of a trilogy set in 17th-century England and France, during the time of the Thirty Years War and, later, the English Civil War. Having fought on both sides in the Thirty Years War, and seen enough catastrophe to last a man a lifetime, Helier L'Eree sought only to hang up his sword and settle down to a life of domesticity in his native island of Guernsey with his beautiful German wife, hopefully beyond the reach of witches and vampires - and witch-hunters. But it was not to be. He is called out of retirement by Cardinal Richelieu to save the life of Henrietta Maria, Queen of England, and sister to the king of France.

The final part of the "Devil" trilogy, in which the veteran swordsman Helier L'Eree has accompanied the future King Charles II to Scotland in an attempt to claim his inheritance. But Helier also has a quest of his own - to seek out and destroy the witch who murdered his family.
