The fourth book in the Pagan Chronicles, this is the story of delicate, bookish Isidore, who becomes scribe to Pagan Kidrouk, Archdeacon of Carcassonne, in 1209 – the year in which papal forces from the north begin their bloody crusade against the Cathar heretics of Isidore’s country.

‘Jinks is a consummate and seamless storyteller . . . She has returned to her Pagan world and created Pagan’s Daughter, a stand-alone story that is a triumph . . . The quality and pace of [her] writing is flawless.’
The Sydney Morning Herald
‘ . . . a coming-of-age novel, but of a very high order . . . Pagan’s Daughter is the best kind of story: one which takes us to a world which is totally foreign, surprising and distant and yet one where we never lose sight of ourselves.’
The Canberra Times
‘Pagan’s Daughter is alive with narrative energy.’
