Historical Fiction Powerhouse, Petken, Releases her New Historical Fiction Thriller

LEICESTER, U.K. - July 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Petken, who has had great success with her previous historical fiction novels, has also hinted that her new book will be a change in direction for her.

Petken, best known for her highly acclaimed “The Guardian of Secrets” has been working on “The Errant Flock” since late 2014.

Valencia, Spain, 1491

The ambitions of four men merge and collide in a deadly game of intrigue.

David Sanz, a young militiaman, is forced to carry out a heinous crime, and he becomes an unwitting pawn in a tense battle for power.

Luis Peráto, the duke of Sagrat, sacrifices his own people to cover up dark secrets that could see him burnt at the stake for treason.

Sergio Garcia, Sagrat’s lord treasurer, is a cruel and unscrupulous man, willing to eliminate anyone who opposes his rise to power.

The inquisitor, Gaspar de Amo, zealously punishes heretics for their sins against Rome and her Holy Office. But bringing the Inquisition to the town of Sagrat proves more challenging than he or the church could ever have envisaged.

In the midst of chaos, the people of Sagrat, terrorized by a series of murders, face an even greater danger with the arrival of the Inquisition and the unimaginable horrors it brings.

Since Petken released her first book, “The Guardian of Secrets,” in 2014, she has been hailed as one of the best historical fiction writers on the market. Her “Mercy Carver” series continued that highly-acclaimed trend, and “The Errant Flock” looks likely to be her breakthrough hit.
