' FINALIST in The Wishing Shelf Awards Longlisted for the HNS Indie
Novel of the Year 2017 from the Winner of the Global Ebook Award
for Best Historical Fiction 1152: Les-Baux-de-Provence ' By far the
best historical fiction I have read this year! - Rabia Tanveer,
December 2015, for Readers' Favorite Summoned to the court of Les
Baux, Estela and her lover, Dragonetz, are embroiled in two rival
claims for power as their feuding liege lords gather in Provence.
Although Estela is reluctant to leave her idyll with her young
child Musca, and her pursuit of Arabic medicine, she welcomes the
chance to show her musical skills and to support Dragonetz, who
must use his swordsmanship to play peacemaker. The visit of the
Comte de Barcelone to Les Baux sparks bitter memories of the recent
civil war and Lady Etiennette des Baux has no intention of ceding
to her overlord. Nor does she plan to remain a widow. With good
friends on both sides, Dragonetz weaves a precarious path through
the rival factions at court where an uneasy truce prevails behind
the chivalry of hunt and tournament. Meanwhile, Estela faces her
own demons. Confronted with her childhood abusers, threatened and
attacked, she confides in her friends. Unfortunately, one of those
friends is Dragonetz' worst enemy and Estela has no idea of what he
is capable. In this third volume of the Troubadours Quartet, Jean
Gill, the 'master of historical intrigue', continues to weave the
gripping adventures of Dragonetz and Estela seamlessly into real
historical events. Medieval France comes alive in all its facets,
from healing with leeches to training a goshawk. Watch the book
