In November 1382, the month of the dead, Abbess Hildegard rides out for York from the Abbey of Meaux. This is no ordinary journey-it is a time of rival popes, a boy king, and a shaky peace in the savage aftermath of Wat Tyler's murder-and Hildegard has embarked on a perilous mission to try to secure the future of her priory. Traveling alone, she discovers danger, encountering first a gibbet with five bloodied corpses and then the body of a youth, brutally butchered. Who was the boy, how was he connected to the men hanging from the gibbet, and what do these gruesome deaths mean' Hildegard is determined to uncover the truth, no matter how terrible it may be. When even her childhood home, Castle Hutton, turns out not to be a safe haven from murder, Hildegard realizes she will have to summon all of her courage and wisdom to counter the dark forces that threaten her friends and family as well as her country.
"November, 1382. The month of the dead. In the fifth year of King Richard's reign, a nun rides out for York and the Abbey of Meaux. As Hildegard travels alone through the densely wooded countryside, with only her two hounds for protection, she encounters a gibbet with five bloodied corpses, and in the next clearing the body of a young man, brutally butchered. The murder will touch Hildegard even more closely as she reaches her childhood home, for Castle Hutton is riven by treachery. She will need all her skills and bravery to counter the dark forces that are at work."
