Summary:
Twelve-year-old Elodie works hard to keep a clean house for her master, take care of her little brother, and guard the secret pagan beliefs she was taught by the mother they recently lost. But the world around her is growing suspicious of non-Christians. When Crusaders arrive to arrest her kindly master, he flees, and the orpahns Elodie and Bertran try to follow his trail. Armed only with meagre supplies and a few good stories, and accompanined -- to Elodie's dismay -- by Bertran's pet chicken, they soon become lost in the woods. Luckily, they stumble upon a penniless female troubadour, Joie, who has mysteriously left court life and appears eager to help. to earn money and food, the trio improvises a spectacle involving storytelling, music, and a chicken-assisted magic trick. But when Joie's own secrets emerge, Elodie is faced with a new dilemma. With Crusaders hovering and a voracious audience clamouring, Elodie realizes that, to save herself and Bertran, she'll need to deicde who to trust -- and who to betray.
