Valley of Dry Bones

In the late summer of 1274, King Edward has been anointed England's ruler, and his queen contemplates a pilgrimage in gratitude for their safe return from Outremer. The journey will include a stay at Tyndal Priory, and envoys are sent to confirm that everything will be suitable for her visit. Prioress Eleanor nervously awaits them, knowing that regal visits bring expense and honor. The cost is higher than expected, however, when a courtier is murdered near the hut where Brother Thomas lives as a hermit. Soon Eleanor is embroiled in the dangerous world of power games, both secular and religious.
