Pagan's Vows - Hardcover

Entering the Abbey of St. Martin to begin a new life dedicated to God, Pagan and Lord Roland attempt to start life anew, but when corruption and deceit surface within the monastery walls, Pagan feels the need to research the matter in order to find out who is behind the immoral acts and soon is questioning his loyalty to Lord Roland when he suspects that he may be one of the people involved.

Catherine Jinks is a medieval scholar and young adult author — a background that is evident in this third of four stories about Pagan Kidrouk. Catherine Jinks's books have garnered numerous awards, including the prestigious Children's Book Council of Australia Book of the Year. Pagan grew out of a university course Catherine Jinks took about the Crusades, and her fascination with the real Order of the Templar. She was also heavily influenced by British comedies like MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. She didn't expect, however, that she would end up writing four books about Templar squire Pagan Kidrouk. "He was such a strong character," she explains, "that he sprang into my head fully formed, and wouldn't go away until I'd worked out his entire life span. He's certainly the strongest character I¹ve ever written about. The cutest, too, I think." Catherine Jinks lives in Australia.
