Please join Brazos Bookstore in Houston, Texas for the official book launch of Patricia Bernstein’s debut novel, A Noble Cunning: The Countess and the Tower.

Set amid the turbulence of the 1715 Rebellion against England’s first German king, George I, A Noble Cunning depicts the ruthless persecution of Catholics and the relentless determination of protagonist Bethan Glentaggart to save the life of her husband Gavin after he is captured and condemned to death. Bethan faces down a mob attack on her home, travels alone from the Scottish Lowlands to London through one of the worst snowstorms in many years, and confronts a cruel king before his court to plead for mercy for her husband. As a last resort, Bethan and her friends must devise and put in motion a devilishly complex scheme featuring multiple disguises and even the judicious use of poison to try to free Gavin.
