WINE OF VIOLENCE by PRISCILLA ROYAL
|
SummaryIt is late summer in the year 1270 and England is as weary
as its aging king, Henry III. Although the Simon de
Montfort rebellion is over, the smell of death still hangs
like smoke over the land. Even in the small priory of
Tyndal on the remote East Anglian coast, the monks and nuns
of the Order of Fontevraud long for a return to tranquil
routine. Their hopes are dashed, however, when the young
and inexperienced Eleanor of Wynethorpe is appointed their
new prioress over someone of their own choosing. Nor are
Eleanor's own prayers for a peaceful transition answered.
Only a day after her arrival, a brutally murdered monk is
found in the cloister gardens, and Brother Thomas, a young
priest with a troubled past, arrives to bring her a more
personal grief. Now she must not only struggle to gain the
respect of her terrified and resentful flock but also cope
with violence, lust and greed in a place dedicated to love
and peace.
