Weve forbidden her to speak. Weve stuffed her mouth with tow. Weve shaved off her hair, once or twice. Weve even locked her in that chest over there. And she remains incorrigible. Shes eaten up with sin, Holy Father, I dont know what to do with her any more.

At sixteen, Babylonne is desperate. Shes been starved and beaten, shes endured six bloody sieges, and now her aunt wants her to marry a crazy old man who thinks hes a giant olive.

Can she trust the mysterious priest whos been spying on her, claiming to be a friend of her fathers? Or would it be better to fight - and perhaps die - in the long, vicious war with the French?

Catherine Jinkss award-winning Pagan series are international bestsellers. Now her action-packed epic continues with Book Five of the Pagan Chronicles - Pagans daughter, Babylonne, is as feisty, funny and irresistible as her famous father.

Full of the richly-textured, high-smelling, highly individualistic atmosphere of the Middle Ages, Catherine Jinkss Pagan series offers unforgettable characters in an extraordinary setting and time, presented in crisp, pungent prose. -- Sophie Masson
