In 1227 Langedoc, practical and impious Babylonne (daughter of Pagan Kidrouk from the Pagan Chronicles) decides to run away before being married off. A priest helps her escape, and eventually she overcomes her religious scruples to be able to trust him. The characters in this stirring medieval history will touch readers' sympathies while the faultless scholarship steeps them in the era.
