A nun and a monk defy death and dishonor at her family\'s Welsh fortress...
In the winter of 1271, Death stalks the corridors of Wynethorpe Castle on the Welsh border.
As passions rise with the winter wind and time runs short, Eleanor, Anne and Thomas struggle to find the real killer..
Outside her priory, in a world of armed men, Eleanor may have little authority, but she is determined to untangle the Gordian knot of thwarted passions and old resentments even if it means defying her father, a man with whom she longs to make peace.
All others may believe in his guilt, but Eleanor is convinced her brother is innocent.
The prioress\'s brother, bloody dagger in hand, stands over the corpse.
Soon after the trio arrives, an important guest is murdered.
Death may be denied once in his quest for souls but never twice.
Escorting them to the remote fortress is Brother Thomas, an unwilling monk fighting his private demons.
When the Grim Reaper touches the beloved grandson of the castle lord, Baron Adam sends for his daughter, Prioress Eleanor of Tyndal, and her sub-infirmarian, Sister Anne, to save the child with prayers and healing talents.
