Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Seven Streams" by Warwick Deeping is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Tristan le Sauvage, a strong and rugged man who embarks on a quest across the sea to retrieve his sister, Columbe. Set against a backdrop of intrigue and conflict, the narrative weaves together themes of loyalty, love, and the tumultuous battle between faith and heresy. At the start of the novel, we meet Tristan as he keeps vigil in a chapel on Purple Isle, preparing for his journey. After being blessed by the island’s priest, he departs on a galley and soon finds himself navigating the mysterious Land of the Seven Streams. As he arrives, he encounters a rugged landscape and hears rumors of a brewing conflict regarding religious dissent in the region. The opening chapters introduce significant characters, including Rosamunde, the lady of La Vallée Joyeuse, who has an enigmatic presence that captivates Tristan. As tensions rise with the impending arrival of the Pope’s forces, the stage is set for a gripping tale filled with adventure and emotional depth.
