    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;<p>&quot;I am the first writer, The  Scribe. My books lie open before the Throne, and someday will be the only  witness of your people and their time in this world. The stories are forgotten  here, and the Day draws close. I will tell you one of my stories. You will record it.&quot;</p>  <p>So begins  the narration of one such angel in this sweeping historical tale set during the  reign of England's Henry VIII. It is the story of two women, their guardian  angels, and a mysterious, subversive book . a book that outrages some, inspires  others, and launches the Protestant Reformation.</p>  <p> The devout Anne Boleyn catches the eye of a  powerful king and uses her influence to champion an English translation of the  Bible—Scriptures the common people could read for themselves. Meanwhile, Rose,  a broken, suicidal woman of the streets, is moved to seek God when she  witnesses Thomas More's public displays of Christian charity, ignorant of his  secret life spent eradicating the same book, persecuting anyone who dares read  it.</p>  <p> Historic figures come alive in this  thrilling story of heroes and villains, saints and sinners, angels and mortals  ... and the sacred book that will inspire you anew.</p>&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
