At sixteen, Babylonne is desperate. She’s been starved and beaten, she’s endured six bloody sieges, and now her aunt wants her to marry a crazy old man who thinks he’s a giant olive. Can she trust the mysterious priest who’s been spying on her, claiming to be a friend of her father’s? Or would it be better to fight – and perhaps die – in the long, vicious war with the French? Catherine Jinks’s award-winning Pagan Chronicles are international bestsellers. Now her action-packed epic continues with the adventures of Pagan’s daughter, Babylonne – as feisty, funny and irresistible as her famous father.
