Produktbeschreibung

A young man finds his calling as a doctor in Queen Elizabeth's court in this Christian historical trilogy finale-a prequel to the House of Winslow series. Neither bold and rough like his brother, Adam, nor headstrong and spoiled like his sister, Adara, young Colin Winslow is a gentle soul with a special love for natural things. His interest in animals and healing brings him in contact with Meg Caradoc, a strange woman who lives in the woods, and teaches him the fine art of herbal medicine. At Oxford, an eccentric but brilliant professor, Dr. Phineas Teague, guides Colin toward a medical career. This formal training, combined with Meg's herbal remedies, makes Colin an insightful and successful doctor-one with the approving eye of Queen Elizabeth. Colin's skill quickly earns him many patients, some highly placed in the courts of both his queen and her sister, Mary Queen of Scots. Soon, this once shy young man finds himself amid court intrigue, acting covertly on the queen's behalf. When Colin faces his most difficult case-curing the wounds his brave brother suffered in battle-he must confront his attraction to Adam's wife, his unsteady faith in God, and the limits of his ability to heal.
