  • "When Baron Herbert returns from the Crusades despondent instead of rejoicing and his sons begin to die in strange accidents, people wonder whether God is punishing him for some dark sin. The baron pleads with his friend Sir Hugh of Wynethorpe to bring healers to his castle, and Hugh, Brother Thomas, Prioress Eleanor of Tyndal, respected physician Master Gamel, and healer Sister Anne arrive just in time to witness the death of a third son. While many say the deaths are due to the devil or God's wrath, Thomas and Eleanor believe a mortal murderer is to blame."

  • "When Baron Herbert returns from crusade he grows increasingly morose and withdraws from his family. When his sons begin to die in strange accidents, questions are asked whether Herbert harbors a dark sin for which God has cursed him. The baron suddenly sends for Sir Hugh of Wynethorpe, begging his friend to bring spiritual and secular healers. Sir Hugh persuades his sister, Prioress Eleanor of Tyndal Priory, as well as a respected physician, Master Gamel, to accompany him. Although Sir Hugh is pleased when the prioress brings her healer, Sister Anne, he is surprised to find the mysterious Brother Thomas included. Tensions spark among family members and soon ignite too among those who came to help. Death's scythe harvests more victims, and it is not long before Ecclesiastes' grim words seem all too apt: there is a season for everything under heaven, including a time to kill. Is there also a time to heal'"@en
