The Trouvères are a company of performers–dancers, singers, jugglers, acrobats–all with at least some modest magical ability. While they seek only to entertain and make enough silver to keep their wagons on the road, they do have one other ability that seems almost magical: the ability to get into trouble.

Their adventures are chronicled in a series of six novels, the first of which will be published summer 2022. It is entitled The Signet Ring.

The setting is late medieval. That’s the 22nd century in Altearth, or 14th century in traditional Earth dates. The first novel is set on the island of Capreae in southern Italia. The next novel takes place in northern Italy, on Lake Garda, then two in Germania, one in Breizh (Brittany) and the last in Paris.
