Summary: "The Red Saint" by Warwick Deeping is a novel written in the early 20th century. It is set against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in England, involving themes of war, power, and the mystical connection between its characters and the land they inhabit. The central figure is Denise of the Hermitage, a woman revered as a saint and healer, who grapples with the chaos of the Barons’ War while navigating her own feelings for Aymery, a lord caught in the conflict. The opening of the story introduces Denise as she witnesses a distant fire amidst the unrest of a country on the brink of civil war.
