Overview

Davides isn't supposed to be a mercenary; he's supposed to be the future Lord of Coimbra. But, in the violent and chaotic world of eleventh-century Hispania, one's lot in life can change very quickly. As a step towards regaining his family's lands and title, Davides accepts the job of escorting an unwilling political asset (okay, hostage) from Salamanca to Seville. Davides expects his task will be unpleasant but relatively simple. However, when the simple task detours into the complicated and perilous, Davides is forced to choose between his allegiances and his conscience, between his family and his friendships, between winning back his noble status and losing everything forever. And, he has to somehow stay alive long enough for his decisions to matter.

Author Information

L.J. Nowak grew up in Michigan, surrounded by corn, sugar beets, horses, and very little else (a half-mile separated her family from their nearest neighbor). Her world expanded dramatically when she began college at Michigan State University, with its student population of over 45,000. After graduating from MSU with a B.A. in Spanish Language and Literature, she spent ten months in Argentina on a Rotary Foundation International Scholarship. Then, she completed an M.A. and Ph.D. in Spanish Literature at the University of Kansas. Over the years she has traveled to Spain several times to study, teach, or do research. Currently, she lives on a small hobby farm in rural Michigan with her husband and two daughters. Her tendency to feed their horses in the mornings wearing pajamas and Muck boots has prompted her husband to refer to her as a highly educated, well-traveled bumpkin . A Mercenary's Pilgrimage is her debut novel.
