Description
Only revenge can make Barnabas whole again.
Dependent on opium and driven by anger over his former mentor’s appalling treachery, Barnabas leaves his beloved Alys in Venice and sets out for Africa on a quest to find the lost Kingdom of Prester John and ultimately, the man who deceived him.
When the expedition takes a deadly twist and loyalties are questioned, he realizes that Alys is the only one who can help him.
Angry and devastated over Barnabas’s recent betrayal, Alys finds comfort in her painting but as the few securities of her confined life crumble around her she faces a desperate choice. Saving Barnabas becomes the greatest test of her life.
The Quest of Hope is a vividly portrayed historical romantic adventure that will keep you turning the pages to the very end. If you like tensely plotted historical novels filled with intrigue then you’ll love the Renaissance Sojourner Series.

What a great book! I think this might just be the best of the Renaissance Sojourner Series for me. So many twists and turns I almost feel out of breath reading it. The alternating of narratives between Barnabas and Alys keeps anticipation on the boil as they both juggle intrigue and danger in their separate worlds. Barnabas with his humble beginnings - a strong and wily character you want to root for and beautiful Alys who has been teetering on the edge for so long you begin to wonder if she will ever find freedom.
If you have ever wanted to live life in another time, Gleeson will skillfully take you there. The research for this series is masterful. I enjoyed the chapter with the Prince over the whereabouts of Prester John’s kingdom and the way the author included Hawqal’s bloodline from Gebre Mesquel Lalibela.
The story flows effortlessly and this book, like the first two in the series, is a well written read packed with an assortment of fascinating history and characters the reader will root for, and a mystery that becomes more than one might be expecting. I highly recommend all of Kristin Gleeson's novels
