Historical
For a thousand years men have denied her existence--Pope
Joan, the woman who disguised herself as a man and rose to
rule Christianity for two years. Now this compelling novel
animates the legend with a portrait of an unforgettable
woman who struggles against restrictions her soul cannot
accept.
When her older brother dies in a Viking attack, the
brilliant young Joan assumes his identity and enters a
Benedictine monastery where, as Brother John Anglicus, she
distinguishes herself as a scholar and healer. Eventually
drawn to Rome, she soon becomes enmeshed in a dangerous mix
of powerful passion and explosive politics that threatens
her life even as it elevates her to the highest throne in
the Western world.
