Read Courted Sanctuary Storyline:
Under divine protection, Luitgard and Sieglinde knew the Church would not find them. But when the Dominican Justin appears at their gates, they begin to question. Luitgard and Justin leave in search of answers while Sieglinde remains, struggling with a new role and a new relationship. As the threats grow, the women learn the truth about their protections and that living in peace is not possible.Long DescriptionLuitgard is a High Priestess of the Mintharchs, a people who have spent nearly half of the thirteenth century hiding from the Roman Catholic Church. Under the protection of an ancient goddess, their home has had no contact with the outside world in that time but when a Dominican friar named Justin appears at their gates, Luitgard cannot figure out how he found them. She soon realizes that Justin is just as confused and just as worried. They leave the village in search of answers while Luitgard's fellow High Priestess, Sieglinde, is left behind to take over the leadership she had never expected to hold. On their journey, Luitgard and Justin learn that they have much more in common than had been suspected and begin to rely upon each other in a way Luitgard has never before experienced. As Sieglinde tries to remain strong for her people she is left wishing for the quiet life she would have had with the warrior Humbert. As both Luitgard and Sieglinde learn their situations are much more dangerous than they had anticipated, they begin to question how real their divine protection ever was and learn that their best hope for survival is trusting not faceless gods but the mortals by their sides.Pages of Courted Sanctuary :
