About this audiobook

1150 in Provence, where making love and making paper are both crimes against the Church.


Like 'Game of Thrones' with real history. Book 1 of the multi-award-winning epic medieval Historical Fiction series 'The Troubadours'.


Estela wants to be Queen Aliénor’s troubadour and ex-crusader Dragonetz los Pros is commanded to teach her. In a world where love and marriage are as divided as Christian, Muslim and Jew, personal and political passions create deadly enemies.


On the run from abuse, Estela wakes in a ditch with only her lute, her amazing voice, and a dagger hidden in her underskirt. Her talent finds a patron in Aliénor of Aquitaine and more than a music tutor in the Queen's finest troubadour and Commander of the Guard, Dragonetz los Pros. Their enemies gather, ready to light the political and religious powder-keg of medieval Narbonne.


Set in the period following the Second Crusade, Jean Gill's spellbinding romantic thrillers evoke medieval France with breathtaking accuracy. The characters leap off the page and include amazing women like Eleanor of Aquitaine and Ermengarda of Narbonne, who shaped history in battles and in bedchambers.

Author

Jean Gill

Sou uma escritora e fotógrafa galesa, vivendo no sul da França, com um grande cachorro branco, um desarrumado cachorro preto, uma Nikon D700, e um homem. Ensinei inglês no País de Gales por muitos anos, e meu apelo para a fama é que fui a primeira mulher a ser diretora secundária em Carmarthenshire. Sou mãe ou madrasta de cinco crianças, então a vida tem sido bastante agitada. Já publiquei todos os tipos de livros, tanto com editoras convencionais como por mim mesma. Você encontrará de tudo com o meu nome, desde poesias e romances ganhadores de prêmios, história militar, livros traduzidos sobre treinamento canino, até livros sobre queijo de cabra. Meu trabalho com o renomado treinador de cães Michel Hasbrouck me levou a fundo ao mundo dos cães com problemas, e inspirou um dos meus romances. Com pais escoceses, um local de nascimento inglês e uma residência francesa, eu posso, quase sempre, torcer pelo time que está ganhando, na maioria das ocasiões esportivas.
