Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 1.0 MB
Overview: In 11th century Provence, Montmajour, a small abbey, comes into possession of a purported piece of the True Cross of Jesus, bringing wealth, fame and the enmity of Church officials and the Count of Provence.
After an accidental killing, Ethan, a local peasant boy, is forced to join Montmajour, where he is soon joined by Arnaud, the illegitimate son of the Archbishop, as the two men struggle to live within the strict Benedictine rules.
Ethan’s life is further upended when his true love, Janine, becomes a nun at a nearby convent. The pent-up sexual desires both face conflict with their vows of celibacy and lead to unintended consequences.
Ethan’s sister, Elsbeth, a feisty, young woman, catches the eye of Lord Robert of Baux, but ends up marrying the son of the local blacksmith. When her husband is killed in battle, Lord Robert defies societal norms by sweeping in to rescue Elsbeth from a vindictive quarryman.
Elsbeth displays great depth of character in dealing with the loss of a child to the plague and a mother-in-law determined to keep her from ascending to the nobility.
