Catherine LeVendeur is a creature of twelfth-century
France. Her life is a mirror of that time but she is a
unique spirit, determined to make her way in the world and
armed with a keen mind and a curiosity that often puts her
in peril. Her life is both a reflection of the bonds
placed upon a woman in her society and the ways in which a
strong personality can triumph and succeed in spite of
those strictures. Catherine is fiercely loyal to both her
faith and her family . . . and this loyalty is sometimes
sorely tested because of a dreaded family secret. Raised a
devout Catholic, she knows that if her family’s Jewish
roots are exposed, all she loves will be destroyed. But how far will she go to protect that secret? When her
dearest friend in the world, Astrolabe, the son of the
fabled theologian Peter Abelard and Heloise, flees
wrongful prosecution for the vicious murder of a young
woman, Catherine’s family takes him in to hide. But there
are darker forces than murder at work here. Someone wishes
to use Astrolabe to complete the destruction of his
father’s fame in the name of faith . . . and there are
those who would see the destruction of the very order of
Christian life. And Catherine’s family is caught right in the middle of
the conflict. While she has experienced love and loss, her
life is committed to preserving what peace she can for
those she loves. How far will Catherine go to save her
friend, and what will this sacrifice do to her family’s
future?
