The Seven Streams

The Seven Streams is a novella by Warwick Deeping. Deeping was an English novelist and short story writer. Excerpt: «Shadows had deepened round Joyous Vale, and vague rumours had come from the south, whisperings of sword and torch and the march of armed men. A shepherd had seen dim sails upon the sea. As to what summer would bring to them, prophecy stood silent. Rosamunde's state was no easy one, as Tristan had gathered, for she was watched and spied upon by her husband's men. Ronan's jealousy was as a snake coiled in the grass, ready to dart and flesh its fangs. She could no more trust him than she could trust a priest. Moreover, his malice hindered her cause, barred her from plotting to save her people. Samson alone could help her in this, and Ronan's jealousy kept the two apart.»
