(from the publisher): Recently widowed and still grieving, Cristiana
Helyngton finds her life wrenched apart by her late husband's greedy
and ambitious relatives, who are determined to have control of her
lands and her daughters. Kidnapped, defamed, and imprisoned in a
nunnery, she must find a way to save herself before she can save her
children.
For Dame Frevisse of St. Frideswide's nunnery, Cristiana is at first
simply a duty among others, but questions rise and troubles
deepen—and then turn deadly. Cristiana, to secure her freedom and
save her daughters, must use a secret entrusted to her by her husband
as he was dying-but it is a secret that could bring down those lords
nearest the king and destroy, rather than save, those most dear to her.
Frevisse, drawn into trouble far deeper than she initially imagined,
must decide where her deepest loyalties lie: to the truth-or to
England's peace. And whatever she chooses, in the end her help may be
of little use against the ruthless men threatened by the secret on
which all of Cristiana's hopes depend.
