1151: The Holy Land, where one book is worth more than a man's life.
'A stunning masterpiece of tangled alliances, conflicting loyalties and tested love.' Kristin Gleeson, In Praise of the Bees
Troubadour Estela will do whatever it takes to rescue the knight she loves but will her brave actions seal his fate? She embarks on a perilous journey to the Holy Land in this enthralling historical epic.
Imprisoned in Damascus, Dragonetz suffers the mind games inflicted by his anonymous enemies, as he is forced to relive the traumatic events of the Second Crusade. His military prowess is as valuable and dangerous to the balance of power as the priceless Torah he has to deliver to Jerusalem, and the key players want Dragonetz riding with them - or dead.
Once more, 'the master of historical intrigue' whirls the reader off into medieval mayhem. Jean Gill's details of crusading strategy and riding a camel are as convincing as the pangs of medieval childbirth. She brought medieval France to life in Song at Dawn; now she adds 12th century Damascus and Jerusalem with equal aplomb.
