Book Launch: Chivalry in the Shadows

Join us for an exciting afternoon at the Chivalry in the Shadows book launch, where we celebrate the release of this new work by the award-winning writer, Dr. Meg Wahlberg. Taking place on Sunday, September 29, upstairs at Tattooed Mom, the event will offer an opportunity to hear Meg Wahlberg introduce her LGBTQ+ Historical Fiction set in 13th-century Brittany. In this novel, a noblewoman convinces her brother to fight in a tournament that will win him the hand of the Baron’s daughter. The knight soon realizes, though, that there is a secret and forbidden love between the ladies. As the tournament nears, the siblings are faced with the predicament of either forming an alliance… or becoming each other’s romantic rival.

Enjoy an exclusive interview with the author, followed by a theatrical reading and a Q&A session where you can delve deeper into the themes of the book. Dr. Wahlberg, a medievalist specializing in the High and Late Middle Ages, also welcomes any questions you might have about medieval culture, literature, and what we know about queer identities of this time. Attendees will have the chance to purchase signed copies and mingle with fellow book lovers.
