Beth Morrison, PhD \u201902<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Morrison is senior curator of manuscripts at the Getty Museum; her brother, Boyd, is a New York Times<\/em> bestselling author of 12 thrillers. They\u2019ve teamed up to launch a series<\/a> about the adventures of a couple in 14th-century England: a noble lady and the knight who saves her from attack as she flees an arranged marriage. \u201cThe authors make splendid use of such medieval-plot standbys as a castle with secret tunnels, plague-riddled vagabonds, a grand tournament, a priceless manuscript, and duplicitous churchmen as the action ranges from Canterbury to Paris and elsewhere in France and finally Italy,\u201d says Publishers Weekly<\/em> in a starred review, adding: \u201cHistorical fiction fans will eagerly await the couple\u2019s further adventures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
