Goodreads asked Cassandra Clark:

What are you currently working on?

Cassandra Clark I'm writing the next in the Hildegard of Meaux series set in Salisbury. The cathedral had just been finished and its steeple was one of the wonders of Europe. In January 1388 Richard II turned 21 and immediately faced one of the most hideous years of anyone's life when all his closest friends, including his guardian, best friend, and all his ministers and anyone who had ever defended him were dragged before the lords and charged with treason. Those who didn't escape were beheaded at the Tower or hung, drawn and their bodies butchered and put on show around the city of London. Richard and Anne only escaped because their enemies knew there would be civil war if the king was harmed. Hildegard and Abbot de Courcy become involved in a plot to release one of the prisoners from the Tower, on pain of death.
