Read The Oblate's Confession Storyline:
The Dark Ages, England: a warrior gives his son to a monastery thatrides the border between two rival Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. Growing up in a
land wracked by war and plague, the child learns of the oath that binds
him to the church and forces a cruel choice upon him. To love one
father, he must betray another. The decision he makes shatters his world
and haunts him forever. This quietly exotic novel places us
compellingly in another time, another place, where chieftains fear holy
men, holy men fear the world, and prayer has the primal force of fire.
While entirely a work of fiction, the novel's background is historically
accurate. In the midst of a tale that touches the human in all of us,
readers will find themselves treated to a history of the Dark Ages
unlike anything available today outside of textbooks and original source
material.
