The Physician

Set against the superstition and splendour of the eleventh century, the engrossing story of Rob J. Cole unfolds. A penniless orphan, Rob was blessed with a gift which, in the days of witchcraft, could send a man to the stake: he had the ability to sense the chill hand of death when it settled on the living. His skill quickened with the potency of knowledge and he knew he was born to heal and to be a physician.
His quiet would take him from the rough roads and seething streets of Britain to the sumptuous and corrupt courts of Persia and the school of the greatest healer of his time. Disguised as a Jew, toiling as a war surgeon in the conflicts of dazzling Eastern empires, he would be helped by mighty patrons and threatened by plague and the cruel prejudice of mullahs and clerics. And always beside the pure flame of learning there burned a fierce passion - for the fiery-eyed beauty of the woman he could never leave ...
And don't miss Shaman, as the descendants of Rob J. Cole travel to the New World to conquer new territory, and encounter fresh trials.
