Mystery Historical | Thriller
In the midst of England’s Reformation, a young novice
will risk everything to defy the most powerful men of her
era.
In 1538, England’s bloody power struggle between crown and
cross threatens to tear the country apart. Novice Joanna
Stafford has tasted the wrath of the royal court, discovered
what lies within the king’s torture rooms, and escaped death
at the hands of those desperate to possess the power of an
ancient relic.
Even with all she has experienced, the quiet life is not for
Joanna. Despite the possibilities of arrest and
imprisonment, she becomes caught up in a shadowy
international plot targeting Henry VIII himself. As the
power plays turn vicious, Joanna realizes her role is more
critical than she’d ever imagined. She must choose between
those she loves most and assuming her part in a prophecy
foretold by three seers. Repelled by violence, Joanna seizes
a future with a man who loves her. But no matter how hard
she tries, she cannot escape the spreading darkness of her
destiny.
To learn the final, sinister piece of the prophecy, she
flees across Europe with a corrupt spy sent by Spain. As she
completes the puzzle in the dungeon of a twelfth-century
Belgian fortress, Joanna realizes the life of Henry VIII as
well as the future of Christendom are in her hands—hands
that must someday hold the chalice that lies at the center
of these deadly prophecies. . . .
