The Bitter Cross
Formats & Editions
A Knight of the Order of St John, Gerard Paulet is languishing in the Grand Priory of Rome. He is a man who fought alongside the legendary Leone Strozzi, who made extreme sacrifices for his faith, and is the last of a generation able to speak of the great crusades.
The young novice tasked with tending to Paulet's broken body is desperate to hear the tales of the former glories of his hero and his comrades. But what makes a hero Is it the man who stays true to his vows, even in the face of a woman's love Is it the man who resists the politics of others and always chooses the path that is right, despite the consequences Is it the crusader who saves the most souls Gerard Paulet has a lot to teach about the nature of heroism, and sometimes it's nothing like the rumours, and just about a will to survive . . .
