A lively, captivating novel, set in the medieval Holy Roman Empire,
that combines the historical detail of Dorothy Dunnett's the
"Lymond Chronicles" with the spellbinding narrative of "The Other
Boleyn Girl". In the summer of 1199, Willem, a naive, poor young
nobleman, is summoned to the magnificent court of Konrad, the Holy
Roman Emperor, whose realm spans much of Europe. Willem's champion
and waggish guide to courtly life is the irrepressible but
mysterious minstrel Jouglet, a longtime admirer of Willem's sister
Lienor. The model of chivalry, Willem wins great honors for his
knightly prowess, but soon learns that gossip, secrets, and lies
are what really fuel courtly life and that he himself is the
unwitting pawn in an elaborate scheme.
