CHANGELING by Philippa Gregory and Simon & Schuster UK releases May 24th and I just can't resist to share its amazing book trailer with you! When I first watched it, its style reminded me of the Pillars of the Earth movie intro, which I totally loved. What do you think? Is CHANGELING already on your pre-order list?
Dark myths,
medieval secrets, intrigue, and romance populate the pages of the
first-ever teen series from #1 bestselling author of The Other Boleyn Girl.Italy,
1453. Seventeen-year-old Luca Vero is brilliant, gorgeous—and accused
of heresy. Cast out of his religious order for using the new science to
question old superstitious beliefs, Luca is recruited into a secret
sect: The Order of the Dragon, commissioned by Pope Nicholas V to
investigate evil and danger in its many forms, and strange occurrences
across Europe, in this year—the end of days. Isolde is a
seventeen-year-old girl shut up in a nunnery so she can’t inherit any of
her father’s estate. As the nuns walk in their sleep and see strange
visions, Isolde is accused of witchcraft—and Luca is sent to investigate
her, but finds himself plotting her escape. Despite their vows,
despite themselves, love grows between Luca and Isolde as they travel
across Europe with their faithful companions, Freize and Ishraq. The
four young people encounter werewolves, alchemists, witches, and
death-dancers as they head toward a real-life historical figure who
holds the boundaries of Christendom and the secrets of the Order of the
Dragon. The first in a series, this epic and richly detailed drama
is grounded in historical communities and their mythic beliefs. It
includes a medieval map of Europe that will track their journey; and the
interior will include relevant decorative elements as well as an
interior line illustration. And look for a QR code that links to a note
from the author with additional, detailed information about the setting
and the history that informed the writing. With Philippa Gregory’s
trademark touch, this novel deftly brings the past—and its salacious
scandals—vividly and disturbingly to life
Since I read Grave Mercy last week, I have a sweet spot for historic books. Maybe this one will be my next victim! I haven't read anything by the author yet, but the trailer looks great :)
