Petrus and the Beggar

By K.J. Rimbey

Responsible for the death of his mother, who paid for his crime with her life, fourteen-year-old Petrus runs to the refuge of Lindisfarne, a monastery on Holy Island. Not far from the fortress, he befriends a Beggar in the medieval 7th century town of Bamburgh, a man who once fought beside the famed King Oswald, so he claims, but the man's bravery has left him blind and maimed by war. Petrus longs to return to the only home he knows, the village of Berwick where his mother is buried. But he can never return. To go back would mean facing the one who has vowed to kill him.

"Already in the short, opening paragraph, Kari Rimbey had me hooked She has masterfully crafted an adventure-mystery-love story all in the context of medieval times that riveted me from start to finish. I deeply enjoy a book that moves me through a wide range of emotions. Kari Rimbey's enchanting story did that. I couldn't put it down. Rarely do I read a book that I wish wouldn't end. This book falls in that category "
