THE FALCONS OF MONTABARD

The Franks are in the Holy Land from every part of Europe, bringing a panoply of accents for Christopher Scott to interpret. Sabin FitzSimon, the reckless hero of this historical sweep from the courts of Europe to the outposts of Northern Syria, is Norman. The object of his true desire is the convent-raised Annais, from Scotland. As they travel the length of the Mediterranean, descriptions of foreign rituals, as well as clothing, art, and everyday objects, allow Scott to transport the listener to exotic locales.
