The Sisterhood of the Rose

<p class="ql-align-center"><strong>A women's adventure set in the time of the Third Crusade.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Nobility of Blood is no longer powerful. Now is the time for Nobility of Spirit. In the time of the Third Crusade, when Richard the Lionheart led the English army to the Holy Land, most women were without voice or rights. Forbidden by the Pope to travel with the Crusaders, twenty determined women set out on a pilgrimage to find their men. From this dangerous and sacred journey, greater awareness of the feminine principle grew and the Sisterhood of the Rose began to flower. Their exciting journey takes them from England, through France to the ancient Island of Gozo near Malta where the stone temples become their home for a time; to Rhodes, the Island of Roses; and to Acre where they find refuge in a Christian abbey, and befriend the wife of one of Saladin's generals who gives them sanctuary. They are destined to meet and learn from powerful women who impart ancient wisdom and knowledge that will change their lives and that of many others. Shipwreck and friendship seal their destiny on The Island of Roses.&nbsp;</p>
