'A must for historical mystery afficionados' - Booklist Starred
Review
Come to me! I need you! These are the words that bring apprentice
healer Lassair awake one morning in the spring of 1092, shaking and
trembling, covered in sweat despite the chill night. It is not the first
time she has had such a dream, and Lassair - who is growing more aware
of the strange power within her - knows that something in the spirit
world is trying to reach her. Something increasingly insistent and
threatening.
Soon, Lassair is certain that one of her loved ones is in terrible
danger - but who? Travelling from Cambridge, where she is studying under
the tutelage of an extraordinary man, she returns to her backwater
Fenland village - to hear the dreadful news that a nun at Chatteris
Abbey has been murdered. The same nunnery where her beloved sister,
Elfritha, lives. Could the urgent summons have come from her? Lassair
immediately sets off, full of fear, but the danger she will have to face
may be greater than she is ready for . . .
