Publisher's Summary

When the novice Emma Thorgold goes missing from Godstow Abbey in the summer of 1353, the hunt is on throughout the Oxfordshire countryside. Bookseller Nicholas Elyot and scholar Jordain Brinkylsworth are anxious to help the girl, but her stepfather has other intentions. Why is he so determined to shut her away for life? Or worse? And will she be found unharmed?

Thoroughly enjoyable

I’ve enjoyed this book so much. A nice gentle story read at a gentle pace by a wonderful narrator. I can’t wait to start the next book in the series.
