Before The Third Crusade

Aveline, the young daughter of Sir Philip Fitzwilliam, is different from the women of her time. Skilled with the sword and bow, and with the support by her influential father, she thrives in the art of warfare. Destined to be married off to a man suitable for a woman of her lineage, she falls in love with Quentin de Ballon, the Earl’s son, and a torrid affair begins.

Meanwhile, talk of a Third Crusade ripples in the air. The Holy Church is actively expanding its territories, and Abbot Paulinus is determined to double the size of his Abbey. His elevation to the role of Bishop depends on the outcome. Pope Alexander, the Holy Father, takes a lively interest in his church’s domain, and is quite unhappy that England is lagging behind its counterparts.

Abbot Paulinus discovers and exploits the affair of Aveline and Quentin, to take control of the manor and coerce Sir Philip and the Earl into adding more funds to the monastery. A move that will elevate him in the eyes of the Holy Father.

Called to trial in an Ecclesiastical Court, Aveline and Quentin’s affair is revealed and death will be their fate unless the Abbot’s conditions are met.

Read The Chronicles of Aveline and enjoy this epic tale of a young woman’s incredible courage and loyalty even in the most desperate circumstances. A captivating story of true love and heartbreaking trials, deception, and one woman's determination to take back everything that was taken from her.
