«Las ciudades carnales» is the historical novel by Zoé Oldenbourg, published by Edhasa in hardback (564 pages, in Spanish).
The love between the Christian knight Roger de Montbrun and the Cathar lady Gentiane d'Aspremont is the core of this novel set in medieval Occitania. Troubadour poetry and courts of love coexist with the Cathar heresy and the Albigensian Crusade, which force Roger to choose between his ideals and his duties as a knight.
