Castle of Whispers / Carole Martinez 181 p.

Esclarmonde is the beloved only daughter of a powerful knight of Medieval France.  When she's forced to the altar to marry a man she detests, Esclarmonde makes a dramatic move to escape.  Although she enters a cloistered existence, she becomes the center of high drama in her village. And, intriguingly, her disdained fiance becomes a musical troubadour who remains faithful to her.  Conveying a sense of religious hysteria and superstition with lyrical writing, this is a highly unusual story.
