The Last Troubadour
Song of Montségur, Book One
Derek Armstrong, Author of The Game, The Last Troubadour, The Last Quest, Blogertize
In this historical thriller set against the rich background of the 13th century Inquisition, the last living troubadour, condemned by the church as a heretic, must rescue a holy Christian relic from a crusading king. Seamlessly weaving the history of the Cathar Crusade with the historical origins of the Tarot deck, this fascinating, genre-bending epic brings symbols of the Tarot to life.
“Tales about the Inquisition are not supposed to be amusing and entertaining, but Armstrong (The Game) manages to make them just that while keeping historical integrity ... recommended for all” —Library Journal
“The 13th-century French inquisition provides the backdrop for Armstrong’s action-packed second novel (after The Game).” —Publishers Weekly
“Brilliance in which Armstrong blends comedy, parody, and adventure in genuinely innovative ways. A writer of abundant talent.” —David Pitt, Booklist
"A wonderful work of art." — Aceclectic Tarot Book Review, Bonnie Cehovet

The Last Quest
Song of Montségur, Book Two
Derek Armstrong, Author of The Game, The Last Troubadour, The Last Quest, Blogertize
Based on the true history of the Albigensians-Cathars, The Last Quest continues the grand epic begun in The Last Troubadour. Populated with real historical characters and modeled on Tarot character archetypes, the epic follows the early history of the famous troubadour Ramon Lull and his companions as they try to bring the Holy Grail and the Dame to safety. They are pursued by Death with his scythe, and the soldiers of Pope Innocent. Yet in their refuge they find even greater danger.
“With wit, wisdom (and more than an occasional wink) Armstrong has written a novel that panders to nearly every one of my cultural, spiritual, and historical prejudices. Set in thirteenth century France—that hotbed of heroes, heroines, and heresy—it’s a wide-screen Technicolor adventure worthy of a full Errol Flynn treatment … an adventure for spiritual grownups that educates as much as it delights." —Bestselling author Lon Milo DuQuette, author of 40 books.
