Description
In 14th-century Europe, the Black Plague sweeps through the land, leaving in its wake death and despair. Entire landscapes fall eerily silent, with fear permeating every corner of society. As papal authorities denounce sin as the cause of the calamity, Geronimo and Isabel's forbidden love defies all societal norms.
Their bond is tested by spiritual conflict, the weight of fate, and the unforgiving realities of a world in turmoil. When Geronimo is enslaved and Isabel, heartbroken, seeks refuge in a convent, their tragic journey unfolds, echoing the timeless struggles of myth and history. The narrative delves into the rigid societal norms of the time, particularly the limited roles and freedoms of women and the oppressive nature of religious and feudal authorities.
This poignant tale masterfully weaves historical authenticity with themes of love, faith, and free will, offering a deep exploration of human longing and spiritual resilience.

Plague, Passion, and Pure Page-Turning Madness
“This book is like history class got drunk on romance and rebellion—and I loved every sinful second of it!” 😈📚✨
Abigail L, Librarian
Sages, Saints and Sinners takes readers deep into the chaos of 14th-century Europe as the Black Plague ravages towns, faith is shaken, and forbidden love blossoms between Geronimo and Isabel. The story vividly captures the crushing weight of fear, the restrictions placed on women, and the iron grip of religious authority, all while weaving in a moving, tragic romance. I really enjoyed how the book balanced its historical details with raw human emotion—I felt fully pulled into the despair, hope, and heartache of the time. It’s the kind of book that lingers with you long after the last page.

🔥 Plague, passion, and a love that thumbs its nose at the rules—this book had me hooked! Watching Geronimo and Isabel fight for their hearts in the middle of death, doom, and church drama was wild in the best way. I tore through the pages like I was sneaking chocolate at midnight, because every chapter had me needing more. If you like your history messy, your romance forbidden, and your faith tested, Sages, Saints and Sinners is your jam. Trust me, you won’t want to put this one down. 😈📖✨
