A Saint by Name. A Pawn in Rome. A Forbidden Love. And a Steadfast Friend .
Rome 999AD. Brother Galen never sought sainthood. But in the heart of Rome, where popes make kings and cardinals plot in shadows, choice is an illusion. Will Galen become a symbol of holy power—prized, controlled, and trapped inside the glittering halls of the Lateran Palace?
By his side stands Alcuin, his loyal friend and gifted illuminator, who sees the danger closing in as Rome’s ruthless factions circle. Alcuin knows the Church’s praise can turn to poison, and even the purest faith may not protect Galen from those eager to exploit him.
But as the political games tighten their grip, Galen risks everything to protect Cara, a young woman fleeing a brutal fate, whose trust in him awakens forbidden desires he has long tried to bury. In a world where every decision carries a price, Galen must navigate faith, ambition, and temptation.
Path of Sainthood is a sweeping medieval tale of power, loyalty, and forbidden love in a world where sainthood may be the most dangerous fate of all.
