In the midst of a long, bleak winter in the year 1383,
flooding brought famine, famine brought disease, and The
Black Death visited town after town.
Into this watery
world, against a background of plague and the turmoil of the
Hundred Years’ War, a brave and brilliant nun, Abbess
Hildegard, embarks on a quest for a precious relic, the
Cross of Constantine. Strong-willed and independent,
she will need remarkable skills to survive. For with the
English Crown at stake, there are many who want her mission
to fail—and one, above all, who plans a deadly revenge.
