The Purple Thread. E-book. Formato EPUB. It is 733 AD in Anglo-Saxon Britain - a time of warriors, war and religious extremes.<br /><br />Begiloc, a young freedman from Wimborne, is a man of action. But his world turns upside down when the young Briton and his best friend Meryn are ordered away to protect English missionaries in Germany.<br /><br />For a man accustomed to brutality, Begiloc has a soft spot for the purple-tinged mountains, waterfalls, lakes, animals, trees and flowers - beginning to muse whether they, rather than Man, do not better embody the essence of God.<br /><br />Mission follows mission across the continent, and Begiloc is driven ever further from his loved ones. His ultimate foe is the corrupt and cruel Bishop of Rems, Milo.<br /><br />Will Begiloc ever be free from his obligations to the Church, and reunited with those whom he has been so long separated?<br /><br />John Broughton&#39;s The Purple Thread is a historical thrill-ride across 8th century Europe, which also rings some very contemporary bells, and a tale of a man&#39;s psychological battle to sustain his faith and morality in the face of temptation and evil.
