The Rebel Nun by Marj Charlier
Set in sixth-century Gaul, this historical novel follows Clotild, a royal-born nun in Poitiers, who leads a daring revolt against ecclesiastical and royal forces seeking to seize the sisters’ dowries and dictate their lives. As loyalties shift and violence threatens, she risks exile and death to defend her community’s autonomy and reimagine a more just place for women within a rigid, patriarchal world.
