Set amidst the backdrop of the scholarship of humanism of renaissance France and its love of luxury, power, and decadence, this fast-paced novel on John Calvin is told from the perspective of a rival whose envy escalates to violent intrigue. The Betrayal is the tale of the private war of one man determined to sell all for an allegiance to the King of France and the jealous intellectuals of the Sorbonne—even if it costs him his own soul. Get set for royal intrigue, hazard-all romance, high-risk debate, and sword-point confession… and the humility and unflinching faithfulness of one man.
