Synopsis This epic fantasy is inspired by the troubadour culture of Provence and the historical events of the Albigensian Crusade in the 13th century. Those who do not truly understand Arbonne--a land of goddess-worshippers ruled by a woman, a place that values song and the romantic conventions of love above all things--might think of it as weak. Certainly, that's what Blaise, a wandering young knight embittered by recent events in his home country of Gorhaut, believes at first. But Blaise gradually discerns the hidden strength of Arbonne, and his dawning respect for the land and its people as well as his passionate love for his own kingdom will lead him to defend Arbonne and Gorhaut against the man he perceives as a threat to both: Gorhaut's most powerful cleric--Blaise's father.
