Vagabond Prophet: A Novel of Nostradamus & His Time

Synopsis

In the quiet village of Saint-Remy, a young poet names Alain Saint-Germain watched his boyhood friend Michel de Nostredame take his first steps down the strange and miraculous path of an incredible destiny. Their world was Renaissance France--ravaged by religious wars and swept by waves of disease and death. While Alain's own life drew him into a maelstrom of splendor and intrigue in the Royal Court, the visionary Michel, troubled by dreams of the near and distant future, and nearly executed for heresy, survived his years of exile despite the horrors of the plague and the constant threat of the Inquisition. Fated to wander, Michel searched for the forbidden secrets of the occult everywhere he journeyed. Compelled by powers of divination, he foretold the fate of kings, saw the cataclysms of coming centuries, and revealed the startling truths that brought fame--and infamy--to the vagabond prophet the world came to know as Nostradamus.
