The vision that young shepherd Stephen of Cloyes experiences on a hillside in France will launch him on a staggering journey: a children’s crusade to accomplish what grown men had failed to do and restore Jerusalem to Christendom. But for Stephen and the thousands of children—some as young as seven; many orphaned, malnourished or ill—who answer his call, the crusade will also become a test of faith and friendship. The Scarlet Cross, the prequel to the bestselling Angeline, is a gripping fictional account based on the real history of the Children’s Crusade of 1212. Karleen Bradford blends adventure and insight in the story of a boy whose questions about his vision and ability to lead will instantly capture the interest of adolescent readers.
SCARLET CROSS.
Only by rooting himself in his courage and his faith can Karl hope to survive. This is a tale of bravery and fear, hope and despair, joy and sadness, victory and defeat.
A clever and compulsive crime thriller, The Scarlet Cross takes you deep into the dark secrets of institutional power and exposes the thin membrane between safety and peril.
