Publisher's Synopsis
Dame Frevisse leaves St Frideswide's nunnery on a pilgrimage. But the road brings unwelcome company: Lionel Knyvet, possessed by a foul demon, has dragged his entire household on an endless pilgrimage and Frevisse must endure the incessant chattering of a mob. However, Lionel's possession may mask a darker sin. When the pilgrims arrive at the manor house at Minster Lovell, Frevisse unwinds the bitter poisons of jealousy and betrayal eating at the hearts of both Lionel and his cousin Giles. She unlocks the mysteries of a blackened heart, but can justice be done when murder comes knocking at the manor's door...
