Death and danger await intrepid nun Hildegard of Meaux when she
undertakes a secret mission for the good of her Order, in this
eleventh action-packed installment of the medieval mystery series.
February, 1390. Hildegard is given a special assignment by the
Prioress of Swyne to escort a young heiress from Beaulieu Abbey to
the northern stronghold of Sir William atte Wood. What could be
more pleasant than to join a betrothal party, especially as she
will be accompanied on the long journey to the New Forest by the
two monks militant, Gregory and Egbert. But there is a more urgent
and secret purpose for her mission. The Western Church is in
Schism, with two popes battling for power. The Cistercians are
split between the pope in Rome - supported by King Richard - and
the pope in Avignon, an ally of the king's French enemies. Which
pope will Beaulieu decide to follow? England's future depends on
it, and who better than Hildegard to discover Beaulieu's
allegiance? But to question such powerful forces brings only death
and danger - and even her two militant monks may not be enough to
save her. This action-packed, page-turning medieval mystery is a
great choice for fans of holy sleuths like Peter Tremayne's Sister
Fidelma and Paul Doherty's Brother Athelstan.
