About this listen

Step into the tumultuous world of the 1100s, where the echoes of the First Crusade resonate across France and Jerusalem. In Lady Sybils Choice, we follow the gripping tale of Elaine, the fictional sister of the historical figure Guy of Lusignan. As Guy embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim the Holy Land from the Saracens, Elaine soon follows, only to discover that her brother has fallen for Sybil, the sister of Jerusalems leper king. With Queen Sybilla, a real historical figure, caught in a web of political intrigue as she prepares for her ascent to the throne, the stakes of her impending marriage to Guy grow ever higher. Yet, at its heart, this story transcends mere history; it is a profound exploration of Elaines spiritual journey toward repentance and faith amid the complexities of the medieval Church. Will Elaines fragile sense of peace, reliant on the material world, withstand the mounting challenges ahead? - Summary by TriciaGCopyright Nature and Animals
