The Troubadours Quartet

The Troubadours: like Game Of Thrones with real history

Estela de Matin would give anything to be a troubadour. She becomes a pawn in a perilous game of queens, reliant on her golden voice and a dagger hidden in her underskirt. Scarred by the crusades, Dragonetz los Pros now fights with sword and song for a more enlightened world, where faith has no colour. When he meets the runaway girl in a ditch, the whole world changes.

Winner of the Global Ebooks Award for Best Historical Fiction

1150: Provence 

Death on her heels, Estela runs towards a new identity. Her life depends on singing true for Aliénor of Aquitaine but her heart cares more for her tutor’s judgement. Dragonetz knows he must not love this troublesome student but their duet makes its own demands. 

Will their secrets kill them both? Dragonetz and Estela are an explosive combination, which their powerful enemies intend to blast into smithereens.

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 who shaped history in battles and in bedchambers.
