DESCRIPTION:
"Solid historical fiction with romance thrown in for good measure." according to D. Ekstrand. I read this book while in Montbrans les Bains in the Vaucluse, France. I believe the writer lives around there and even though it was set In the middle ages, I still felt the nearness of the locations described in the book. The heroine is actually from Montbrans and many of the towns and villages mentioned are still around today. I did find some of the passages a bit long winded at times but generally a good read. I am going to try the next one in he series. It remains to be see if I get to the third one.. Blade song, the second of Jean Gill's trilogy is exceptionally written and impossible to put down.

Jean Gill's knowledge off history, both social and political for this period is woven seamlessly into a riveting story which is very real in life terms, being both very shocking and unsettling as well as romantic.I recommend this trilogy, and this book, to anyone who enjoys this type of reading. I will be giving the set to my aunt whom enjoys historical fiction, we trade books all the time, but these are for her collection.. "Good read!" according to Zipporah. For what it is, a historical novel, it is very well written and researched. I am reading more books by this author. Very authentic and good plot.

Will she still want to, when she knows what they've done to him?Once more 'the master of historical intrigue' whirls the reader off into medieval mayhem. Dragonetz, her passionate knight has a dangerous mission to fulfill; divided by the times they love in, they fight to be together.Imprisoned in Damascus, Dragonetz suffers the mind games inflicted by his anonymous enemies, as he is forced to remember the traumatic events of the crusade, two years earlier. She brought medieval France to life in 'Song at Dawn'; now she adds 12th century Damascus and Jerusalem with equal aplomb.'Wonderful. 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.Instead of remaining safely at home, Estela is des
Stibbe, Chasing Pharoahs‘One of the best historical novels I’ve read in a long time.’ Paul Trembling, Dragonslayer‘Fascinating history - the plot was terrific.’ Brian Wilkerson, Trickster Eric Novels blogger‘A walk through time! That is what it was like to read this fine novel. All at once, I am surrounded by knights, crusades, and Templar politics… Her writing is as lyrical as the songs her characters sing.’ B.J. It drew me into the pages and would not let go of me until done! Bravo for a wonderful read!
