The Seven Streams

The Seven Streams is a historical novel by Warwick Deeping, written in the early 20th century. It follows Tristan le Sauvage on his knightly quest to rescue his sister Columbe from the Land of Seven Streams. Set against a backdrop of conflict and intrigue, the story explores themes of loyalty, love, and the struggle between faith and heresy, while depicting a rugged sixth-century society rather than the chivalrous courts of later medieval literature.
