MEDIEVAL MYSTERY: On a remote East Anglian coast stands Tyndal Priory, home to a rare monastic order where men and women live and work together in close proximity. Twenty-year-old Eleanor of Wynethorpe has been appointed prioress by Henry III over the elected choice of the priory itself. Young and inexperienced, Eleanor will face a grave struggle - in a place dedicated to love and peace, she will find little of either.
SORROW WITHOUT END: As the first of winter''s storms ravages the East Anglian coast, a man, his soul burning with vengeance, takes the last steps in a journey that began two thousand miles ago...
In the woods surrounding Tyndal Priory, the discovery of a disembowelled corpse wrapped in a crusader''s cloak horrifies the community. A bronze dagger planted in the man''s chest is engraved with a strange, cursive design. It is no Englishman''s weapon. Could it be a Saracen blade? Wielded by an assassin?
