Greetings, fellow searchers for Truth!Have you ever wondered about the raw, untamed power of faith that pulsed through the early centuries of Christianity? Before grand cathedrals and formalized dogma, there existed an innate connection to the divine, a power so potent it could mend the broken and raise the dead. My first chronicle, Quest for the Scroll plunges you into this very world, a world where miracles walked hand-in-hand with everyday life.Journey with Magnus, a devoted student of the renowned Saint Martin of Tours, as he safeguards a sacred scroll – a testament to Martin's revolutionary understanding of spiritual healing. This is no mere parchment, but a vessel of divine wisdom, coveted by those who would twist its power for their own dark purposes.From the hallowed ground of Tours to the mist-shrouded shores of Britannia, Magnus's path is fraught with peril. He finds solace in the gentle heart of Cynde, an innkeeper’s daughter whose spirit shines amidst the encroaching shadows. Together, they flee to escape the persecution of a corrupt bishop, their love a beacon in a world teetering on the edge of chaos. They face treacherous landscapes, ruthless mercenaries, and the ever-present threat of those who fear the true power of faith.Quest for the Scroll is more than just a story; it's an immersion into the vibrant tapestry of early medieval Britain, a time when the echoes of the apostles still resonated, and the very air thrummed with the potential for miracles. Prepare to be transported, to be challenged, and to rediscover the primal strength of belief. Let the journey begin!“Quest for the Scroll… is an enlightening read for those seeking a fresh perspective on the intersection of faith and reality. It’s a heroic tale of love, faith, and the infinity of life.” AmericanWritingAwards.comR. L. Rinne graduated from college with a degree in design and embarked on a career in industrial automation (problem solving). He still lives with his wife on the family farm and has travelled across the globe. He still works in automation, inventions and riding motorcycles.His debut novel “Quest for the Scroll” has won awards in Christian, Young Adult, Spirituality, Religious, and Christian Action-Adventure categories.
