Pilgrimage to Heresy Don’t Believe Everything They Tell You
A novel of the Camino by Tracy Saunders
Book One of The Camino Chronicles
PILGRIMAGE TO HERESY asks disturbing questions about the nature of faith and pilgrimage. The Catholic Church would rather you didn't learn the answers!
Trier, Gaul, 385 C.E.
Priscillian of Avila A wealthy former Senator, a charismatic bishop with a huge following in his native Galicia, argues for his life against his accusers, two powerful Spanish bishops who win the ready ear of the new Emperor, Maximus. Along with eight of his closest followers including Eucrotia, the widow of a Roman noble, Priscillian is accused of witchcraft and heresy.
Yet Priscillian’s message is one of celibacy, simplicity, and gentleness. Is he guilty? For centuries, it has been claimed that St. James is buried in the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain—the Holy Grail of pilgrims for over 1200 years. But what if he is not? What if the occupant of the crypt is none other than Priscillian, a man whose Gnostic message threatened to undo the power of the newly formed Roman church?
The Camino de Santiago, Spain, 2000 C.E.
Miranda has left her untenured position at the University of Toronto to go on a 800 kilometers hike in the north of Spain. On her second day walking in the Pyrenees, she meets Kieran, a lapsed candidate for the priesthood, who is translating a book written in Latin a book he shouldn’t have. The next day, Kieran is missing, and so is his translation!
A religious injustice … Two love stories one doomed from the start … and a mystery perhaps?
Pilgrimage to Heresy is available in hardcover and trade format paperback (iUniverse). It can also be downloaded as a Diesel e-book and in . It is published in Spanish as Peregrinos de la Herejia (Algaida/Bóveda)

Pilgrimage to Heresy: Don't Believe Everything They Tell You (The Camino Chronicles) relates two stories. The first is of modern day Miranda who is walking the Camino de Santiago. She meets Kieran, a priest in training, and their conversations cause Miranda to question her beliefs. Kieran gives Miranda a package to carry and protect as she travels to Santiago. With this package comes a mystery.The second story is of 4th-century Priscillian of Avila, a Gnostic bishop, who is persecuted by his peers for his beliefs and called a heretic and a witch. After reading his story, the reader wonders whose remains actually rest in St. James' tomb.
Both are love stories: love between two people, and love between friends.
Of the two, I found Priscillian's story more interesting, better crafted, with realistic dialog. It also provided me with insights as to what was going on in the Church during the formative centuries. I appreciate the research that Ms Saunders did to write this book and her talent for devising a captivating story. I am looking forward to reading more of her books.

Pilgrimage to Heresy Don´t Believe Everything They Tell You The Camino Chronicles Book 1 edition by Tracy Saunders Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Tracy Saunders did a wonderful job writing this story and keeping as true to history as is known and, at the same time adding the premise about Priscillian's life and role. She weaves the story of the 'old' with the 'new' seamlessly and never allows one to forget the mystery of the Camino and it's origin. Well done!
As I look forward to my first Camino in 2014, I have been reading a variety of books, facts, fiction, and preparatory. It has piqued my interest in learning more about Pricillian. While the book itself is a work of fiction, it makes you think about Christianity in a different light and not how the world depicts it.
Hoping to read a book about the Camino as well as a new twist on history I found neither. Boring and lethargic. Would not recommend.
Interesting ideas told in an engaging way. The author manages to combine interesting and provoking historical ideas with an engaging tale.
A compelling, well written book by Tracy Saunders. A fictional story entwined within historical factual setting.....as well as some historical "possibilities'. It was hard for me to put this one down..............I read it straight through. Tracy's style of writing and story lines challenge you to "Think" - to "Question" and to "Experience".
This is a must read. Tracy's books have been among my favorites to be read and reread many times.
Thank you Tracy Saunders
While an ambitious work with a story line between the present and past it is confusing at times trying to follow how much of the past is supposed to be fact and how much is the authors own imagination. It would be better to have treated the historical past based on ascertain able facts or later writings on the subject.
The present is well told with a more believable story line.
Fell short of expectations.
What a smashing read.
This book kept me totally captivated from beginning to end - one of the rare 'unputdownable' books that leaves one contemplating its content long after the last page is read. I found myself in complete sympatico with the main characters, especially Pricillian and I now feel compelled to research his life for myself dependant, of course, on finding source material free from the orthodox bias. Thank you so much, Ms Saunders.
