Jean Gill

Award-winning historical fiction. Like Game of Thrones with real history. 
'Believable, page-turning and memorable.' Lela Michael, S.P. Review
1150: Provence, where making love and making paper are crimes against the Church.
 Death on her heels, Estela runs towards a new identity. Her life depends on her golden voice and the patronage of Eleanor of Aquitaine but her heart cares more for the judgement of her tutor, Dragonetz, a cynical ex-crusader. He knows he must not love this troublesome student but their duet makes its own demands.
 Will their secrets kill them both? The troubadours, 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 like Eleanor of Aquitaine and Ermengarda of Narbonne, who shaped history in battles and in bedchambers.

‘One of the best historical novels I’ve read in a long time,’ Paul Trembling, Dragonslayer

Book 1 of the award-winning Historical Fiction series The Troubadours

The 13th Sign

The Troubadours

Song at Dawn: 1150 in Provence

Award-winning historical fiction. Like Game of Thrones with real history. 
1151: The Holy Land, where one book is worth more than a man's life.
‘A stunning masterpiece of tangled alliances, conflicting loyalties and tested love.’ Kristin Gleeson, In Praise of the Bees
 Troubadour Estela will do whatever it takes to rescue the knight she loves but will her brave actions seal his fate? She embarks on a perilous journey to the Holy Land in this enthralling historical epic. 
 Imprisoned in Damascus, Dragonetz suffers the mind games inflicted by his anonymous enemies, as he is forced to relive the traumatic events of the Second Crusade. 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.
 Once more, 'the master of historical intrigue' whirls the reader off into medieval mayhem. Jean Gill's details of crusading strategy and riding a camel are as convincing as the pangs of medieval childbirth. She brought medieval France to life in Song at Dawn; now she adds 12th century Damascus and Jerusalem with equal aplomb.

1152: Les Baux de Provence. Medieval France comes to life in a historical page-turner full of intrigue, romance, and adventure! 

The visit of the Comte du Barcelone to Les Baux sparks bitter memories of the recent civil war and Lady Etiennette des Baux has no intention of ceding to her overlord. Nor does she plan to remain a widow and she sets her sights on Dragonetz, offering him Provence as an incentive.

Meanwhile, Estela faces her own demons. Confronted with her childhood abusers, threatened and attacked, she confides in her friends. Unfortunately, one of those friends is Dragonetz' worst enemy and Estela has no idea of what he is capable.

In this third volume of the Troubadours Quartet, Jean Gill, the 'master of historical intrigue', continues to weave the gripping adventures of Dragonetz and Estela seamlessly into real historical events.

‘I absolutely loved this series.’ Michelle Ryles, blogger, The Book Magnet
Heart-stopping conclusion to an unforgettable series.
 Dragonetz failed his liege, Eleanor of Aquitaine and is in exile, branded an oathbreaker. But she plans to be Queen of England and gives him one chance to redeem himself. His mission will take him alone into the hostile court of the Welsh princes, Rhys and Meredith, relying on song and sword to win their trust. Unlikely to survive, he intends to die alone.
 His lady, however, demands partnership, not protection. Estela and Dragonetz fight their enemies together, on the battlefield and in the courts of Christendom, from the sophistication of Zaragossa to the savage beauty of Wales. Can they win through to song hereafter?
 Or have they cheated death once too often?
 An authentic twelfth century road trip with the rock stars of the middle ages. Jean Gill’s spell-binding medieval thrillers write unforgettable women back into real history.

'I absolutely loved this series,' Michellle Ryles, The Book Magnet blogger

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. Jean Gill captures the soul of the age and the characters who lived in it.

Book 1 Song at Dawn: 1150 in Provence, where making love and making paper are both crimes against the Church. On the run with death at her heels, 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 Eleanor of Aquitaine and more than a music tutor in the Queen's finest troubadour and Commander of the Guard, Dragonetz los Pros. Meanwhile, their enemies gather, ready to light the political and religious powder-keg of medieval Narbonne.

Book 2 Bladesong: 1151 in The Holy Land, where one book is worth more than a man's life. Troubadour Estela will do whatever it takes to rescue the knight she loves but will her brave actions seal his fate? She embarks on a perilous journey to the Holy Land in this enthralling historical epic. 

Once more, 'the master of historical intrigue' whirls the reader off into medieval mayhem. Jean Gill's details of crusading strategy and riding a camel are as convincing as the pangs of medieval childbirth. She brought medieval France to life in Song at Dawn; now she adds 12th century Damascus and Jerusalem with equal aplomb.

Book 3 Plaint for Provence: 1152 in Les-Baux-de-Provence, where today’s friends are tomorrow’s enemies. As feuding lords gather in Provence, the troubadours, Estela and her lover Dragonetz, are plunged into a power struggle that could destroy the fragile peace.
 Lady Etiennette des Baux has no intention of ceding to her overlord of Barcelone. Nor does she plan to remain a widow and she sets her sights on Dragonetz, offering him Provence as an incentive.
With dear friends on both sides, Dragonetz weaves a precarious path through the rival factions at court while Estela faces her own demons. Behind the chivalry of hunt and tournament, war threatens.
