Alençon, September 1304. Widowed Agnes de Souarcy is a prisoner of the Inquisition. Though innocent of any crime, she faces interrogation and torture. And with friendsand allies powerless to help her, she only has her strength of character to draw on as she fights for her life.

Meanwhile, at Clarets Abbey, the religious community is shaken to the core when a nun is horrifically poisoned by a murderer hidden in its midst.

What links these seemingly disparete eventsto Francesco de Leone, a Knight Hospitaller who, following an ancient quest of global import, has come to Normandy in search of a secret holy text?

In this sequel to The Season of the Beast Andrea H. Japp uses her remarkable knowledge of French history and daily life in the medieval world to tell an intricate and spellbinding story.
