Margaret Cook

4.9/5 (14441 ratings)

Description:Why was a renowned mediaeval Abbey Hospital in the Scottish Borders suddenly demolished amid disgrace and scandal? This is a fictionalised version of the mystery surrounding the fate of Soutra Abbey on Fala moor. Perhaps the reputation of senior figures of Church and State involved in the fifteenth century intrigue needed to be protected by the burial of historical fact. Fergus MacBeath is the central figure; wounded in battle and saved miraculously, he seems to emanate portents and command the elements. With medical skills inherited from his Highland family, he eventually becomes the medicus at Soltre (ancient name for Soutra), and is regarded as a saint. To the Borders people he can do no wrong, even though he breaks all the Church's rules and engages a 'wise woman' to assist with women in childbirth. Soltre, which has for centuries been protected from the wars and turbulence of the times by seemingly supernatural powers, has acquired lands and wealth from grateful families. It is an oasis of abundance in a country of factions, unrest and poverty. Kings and Bishops regard the Soltre estate with avarice and scheme to acquire and control it. All to no avail - until..... Fergus falls - plunges - crashes - in love. Uncharacteristic and wholly unpredicted as this event is, he is swamped by visceral emotions. And suddenly the sanctuary status of Soltre ceases. External forces invade with a play of moral ascendancy by the Church and crude acquisitiveness by the State, unleashing savage and unholy wreckage.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
