      Add together Alice de Granville's heartfelt certainty that Uncle Frank's remains must be safely returned to Hartslove, a headlong flight on horseback, disguises, the ever-gossipy London mob, and the devastating effect of Alice's blue eyes, for this funny, exciting adventure.

      How the hangman lost his heart
    • Chalus Chabrol, 1199. The Occitanian knights battle for their lives against Richard the Lionheart. They are guarding the Blue Flame under which all Occitanians must unite to resist invasion. But the knights cannot survive and so it falls to Parsifal, young son of the knight Bernard, to travel on alone and find the true keeper of the Flame. Yet when Parsifal returns home, the Occitan is ablaze. Catholic Inquisitors and Cathar heretics, far from uniting, are fighting each other for the soul of the land and its people. To which sect does the Blue Flame belong? Parsifal's path intertwines with Raimon, son of a Cathar weaver, and Yolanda, daughter of a Catholic count. They are falling in love. But in a time of hate, love is never left in peace. With family against family, north against south and Catholic against Cathar, Raimon must help Parsifal find the Blue Flame's true meaning before the Occitan is destroyed.

    • Richard Löwenherz ruft zum Kreuzzug ins Heilige Land. Obwohl Will erst 14 Jahre alt ist, darf er seinen Vater begleiten. Auf der Suche nach einem geeigneten Pferd für Reise und Kampf, fällt Wills Wahl auf einen kleinen Fuchs-Hengst. Auch wenn die anderen Ritter lachen - Will weiß: „Hosanna“ ist etwas Besonderes. Dass Will am Ende alle Abenteuer unbeschadet übersteht und in die goldene Stadt reiten kann, verdankt er nicht zuletzt seinem treuen Pferd.
