Capuche: A Historic Medieval Tale of a Forbidden Love and a Barbaric Church - Paperback

Capuche is a powerful historic fictional narrative grounded in factual events and personalities.

In England, at the dawn of the 1200s, a well-educated Welsh Noble, Sir Morvran Llywarch, prefers a scholar's life over knighthood. In his search for knowledge and the mysterious, he embraces the eternal esoteric Cathar teachings and becomes one of their leaders known as Capuche.

In this feudal world of brutal suppression, corruption, and hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, the Gnostic ideology of the Cathars stand out as a beacon of hope -- but is a thorn in the eyes of the Church. And witnessing their savagery Capuche sets out to take from the Church and even the scales.

When Morvran innovates bookmaking and falls in love with a nun, his life takes an irreversible turn. Their illicit love, his Cathar affiliation as Capuche, and nightly raids provoke the terrifying wrath of the Church. But uncovering Capuche's identity proves difficult, as the Cathars hide in plain sight, part of a population that loves and protects them.

Capuche is a tragedy, a story of hope, passion, and suffering -- a mystical journey in search of the beyond and of love under the most arduous circumstances.
