The sold singer

Dramatic, adventurous, and highly suspenseful! Bestselling author Iny Lorentz takes readers on a journey with "The Sold Singer" – the first volume of the historical trilogy about the singer Cristina – set in 18th century Thuringia.

Thuringia around 1796: The young Cristina's blonde hair makes her an outsider even within her own family of performers. She is simply too different from her relatives who come from Italy. As a result, the authorities often mistake her for a kidnapped child. Her aunt seizes the first opportunity to get rid of the girl and sells her to the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen. In Meiningen, Cristina is to be trained as a singer. Although her training is conducted with military discipline, she loves music and soon captivates others with her enchanting voice, attracting both admiration and envy. Lady Kordelia wants her daughter to be the new court singer and teams up with a man who has his own reasons for wanting to remove Cristina from the court. When Cristina is abducted along with the maid Ira, more than just her career at court is at stake.

The fragmentation of Germany and the Napoleonic Wars at the end of the 18th century provide a fascinating historical backdrop for this grand series of novels filled with adventure, love, and courtly intrigue.

Anne Moll is well-known to a wide television audience for her role in the series "Rote Rosen." Her rich, melodic voice has lent itself to many Iny Lorentz audiobook bestsellers.
