Her perilous game / Lee Swanson

Eager to expand upon her success as a 14th century Hanseatic merchant, Christina Kohl embarks on a dangerous journey in the pursuit of great profits. But will she be just as ready to risk her life for duty, honor, and the lives of those she holds most dear?In 14th century Europe, a respectable woman was expected to marry at a young age, often to a man she did not love, with the remainder of her days to be spent managing a household and enduring a yearly visit to the birthing chair. For eighteen-year old Christina Kohl, that life could not be further from the one she now leads. She has become a master merchant, fending for herself in an evolving world of trade and social upheaval where things are not always as they seem, least of all Christina herself.
