In 1173 in the guest chamber at Loches Castle in the Loire Valley. Eleanor and I are awaiting the wrath of her husband. (In real life I am procrastinating grading papers, but I'd rather be at Loches Castle!)

I'd be procrastinating about grading papers myself. I took a long weekend to read it even though I could have done better things. Scrub the tub, wash the windows, replace the blinds, shampoo the carpet. No, I read.
Thanks for the picture of the castle.

[quote=""Carine""]That sounds very interesting SonjaMarie ! How do you like it so far ?[/quote]
I'm really enjoying it. It's the sequel to "Napoleon's Pyramids", and I'm nearly down with it. The author is actually from my state, which is nice too!

You're welcome. Perhaps when I have some time I'll post some photos and information on the castles in Devil's Brood. I think it is interesting to learn about actual settings.
