Curl up with Hildegard this winter. A thriller that starts in the Gothic wilds of Yorkshire where Hildegard is entrusted with a secret mission, to go to Rome to bring back the legendary cross of Constantine. But many enemies are determined she will not succeed. This is a story about a strong and determined women, not as unlikely as some people assume for the time. There were many women living in the Saxon tradition who were considered the equal of men and took a prominent part in politics and everyday life. Hildegard is one such and although she missed the great days when a former prioress of her house at Swyne was excommunicated three times for standing up to the rapacious Abbot of Meaux she is still a woman to be reckoned with.
Read and rejoice!
