Fiction
This richly imagined tale takes readers to a tiny German
town in the time of “the burnings,” when pious and heretic
alike became victims of witch-hunting zealots. When a double
murder stirs up festering fears, the village priest sends
for help. But the charismatic Inquisitor who answers the
call brings a deadly mix of spiritual fervor and
self-deceptive evil. Under his influence, village fear,
guilt, and suspicion of women take a deadly turn. In the
midst of this nightmare, a doubting priest and an unloved
wife—a secret friend of the recently martyred William
Tyndale—somehow manage to hear another Voice…and discover
the power of love over fear. Dinfoil, Germany, 1538. In a
little town on the edge of the Black Forest, a double murder
stirs up festering fears. A lonely woman despairs of
pleasing her husband and wonders why other women shun her.
An overworked sheriff struggles to hold the town—and
himself—together. A priest begins to doubt the power of the
words he shares daily with his flock. And the charismatic
Inquisitor who arrives to help—with a filthy witch in a cage
as an object lesson—brings his own mix of lofty ideals and
treacherous evil. Under his influence, ordinary village
fears and resentments take a deadly turn. Terror mounts.
Dark deeds come to light. And men and women alike discover
not only what they are capable of, but who they are…and what
it means to grapple for grace.
