Epic historical fantasies inspired by medieval Europe
A Song for Arbonne (2020)
Inspired by the troubadour culture of medieval Provence, A Song for Arbonne transports listeners to a world of courtly love, music, and impending war. The sun-blessed land of Arbonne—where women hold power and troubadours sing of love—faces annihilation from the militant northern kingdom of Gorhaut, whose high priest is bent on destroying a culture that worships a goddess.
When a mysterious mercenary from Gorhaut arrives in Arbonne, he finds himself drawn into a complex web of feuds, passions, and political machinations. As holy war looms on the horizon, the fate of Arbonne hangs in the balance.
Euan Morton's Narration
Because much of the story centers on troubadours and their music, Euan Morton sings the troubadour songs woven throughout the narrative, bringing an extraordinary dimension to this audiobook performance.
The Lions of Al-Rassan (2012)
Hauntingly evocative of medieval Spain, The Lions of Al-Rassan is both a brilliant adventure and a deeply compelling story of love, divided loyalties, and what happens when hardening beliefs begin to remake—or destroy—a world.
The once-great Asharite empire of Al-Rassan has splintered into warring kingdoms. In the north, the Jaddites seek to reconquer these lands. When Rodrigo Belmonte, the celebrated Jaddite military leader, is driven into exile and leads his mercenary company south, he meets Ammar ibn Khairan—poet, diplomat, and soldier. These two men from different worlds serve the same master for a time. Sharing their interwoven fate is Jehane, the accomplished court physician, whose skills play an increasing role as Al-Rassan is swept to the brink of holy war and beyond.
