Bath Abbey, 1199. The monks' peaceful existence is turned upside down
when the Abbey's unpopular prior is found dead on Solsbury Hill. But
when Sir Symon Cole and his wife, Gwenllian, arrive to investigate, they
soon hear whisperings that the prior has met with divine punishment.
For it is said that on Solsbury Hill, only those who are pure in heart
can survive a night when the moon is full.
Determined to get to the bottom of the suspicious circumstances
surrounding the prior's death, Gwenllian launches a daring investigation
that puts her in great danger and Sir Symon accepts a challenge to visit
the hill at night.
Sacred treasures. Dangerous secrets. Plots against Church, Crown and
Government. Solsbury Hill continues to be the scene of murder, theft and
conspiracy throughout the ages. But what will today's archaeologists
make of the mysteries uncovered on this haunted site?
