  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. 
  ✔ Ruthless Church politics and court intrigue 
  ✔ A reluctant saint caught in a battle for power 
  ✔ Forbidden love and moral conflict 
  ✔ Unbreakable friendship tested by ambition and desire 
  ✔ A richly detailed medieval world

  What people had to say about the story: 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What I love about this book and all of Pearl S Buck's book she really understand the lives of Chinese women and tells their stories, rich or poor, beautiful or not, as they must have been. Not romanticised and really with lots of understanding, empathy and knowledge. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Wonderfully written book. The emotion with which the narrator tells her story seeps through the pages. I felt her pain, her joys, her fear and her love. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this book! The story is one of two women one from China and one from the United States and their marraiges. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the sixth time I've read this novel, the first in its original language. It's one of my 10 best-beloved books of all time.
