Explanation As Books Blue Flame (Perfect Fire Trilogy #1)
Many years have passed since the Occitanian knights fought a courageous battle to keep the Blue Flame - sparked at Christ's cricifixion and kept burning for centuries - from falling into the wrong hands. Parsifal, young son of the knight Bernard, escaped with the flame and has continued the mission to find its true keeper. His path intertwines with Raimon, son of a Cathar weaver, and Yolanda, daughter of the Catholic Count, who are falling in love. But the righteous crusades begin, setting boy against girl, family against family, neighbour against neighbour, the south against the north. The tumult rises to a roaring peak when the Inquisitors arrive to slaughter the heretics and possess the Blue Flame.

A good start to the series but could be written better
I'm still deciding on this one. Once it got going it was OK, but I'm not sure I'll read the next one in the series. So, I guess I could go anywhere between 2.5 to 3.5 stars.

Before, it didn't matter that he was a Cathar and she was a Catholic. But people are choosing sides and Raiman and Yolanda don't know what to do. Maybe the Blue Flame will come and save them - yet again, maybe not.
