Arriving home disillusioned from the Crusades, Hugh discovers that his village has been ransacked and his wife abducted by a ruthless duke in search of a relic worth more than any throne in Europe. Only by taking on the role of a jester is he able to infiltrate the duke's castle, where he thinks his wife is captive. This is just the first step in a battle that leads Hugh to places he never imagined -- with results more majestic than he ever dreamed, as he goes on a personal crusade to save the common people from the oppression of savage nobles. Anyone who has ever rooted for the underdog, hoped for good to defeat evil, or believed that love can conquer all will not be able to stop listening to this masterful novel of virtue and suspense. |
